FIG. 1.
Experimental set up used to dissect the effect of genetic variability in the Gsta4 gene. Experimental traumatic brain injury was performed in the two inbred rat strains DA and PVGav1 and their genome is shown in black or white color, respectively. The genome of the R5 congenic rat has all genes from the DA strain illustrated in black color except for a fragment with 35 genes, including Gsta4 (illustrated as a small white segment at chromosome 8) from the PVGav1 strain. (To see this illustration in color, the reader is referred to the web version of this article at www.liebertpub.com/ars.)
