Figure 3. Relative gene expression of interleukin-6 following MCAO.

Figure 3

Striatal IL-6 mRNA is elevated in socially housed (aCSF n = 6) and OT-treated mice (n = 7) relative to social isolation (aCSF n = 7). OT treatment increased IL-6 expression relative to OTA in socially housed mice, while OTA treatment did not influence IL-6 expression in isolated mice. * indicates a statistically significant difference between indicated groups (P < 0.05). Data are expressed as a ratio of ischemic to non-ischemic hemisphere. # significantly different from socially isolated aCSF-treated mice (P < 0.05).
