Fig. 4. Attenuation of ischemia-reperfusion-induced interleukin (IL)-1β (panel A), IL-6 (panel B) and IL-10 (panel C) expression by isoflurane postconditioning in rats.
The frontal cerebral cortex area 1 (Fr1) and hippocampus ipisilateral or contralateral to the side of middle cerebral arterial occlusion (MCAO) were harvested at 24 h after the MCAO. Results are the means ± S.E.M. (n = 7 – 17). * P < 0.05 compared to sham-operated control. ^ P < 0.05 compared to MCAO only. Iso: isoflurane postconditioning.
