Cocoa represses CFA mediated upregualtion of GFAP expression in STN astrocytes. (A) Representative images of the STN immunostained for GFAP are shown. Tissues were obtained from control animals (CON) or animals on 10% cocoa enriched diets for 14 days (COCOA), animals injected with CFA for 7 days (CFA), or animals on a 10% cocoa diet for 14 days then injected with CFA for 7 days prior to harvesting the spinal cord (COCOA + CFA). (B) The average fold change ± SEM of GFAP staining intensity when compared to the mean of the control that was made equal to one is reported (n = 3). * p < 0.01 increase when compared to control while # p < 0.01 decrease from CFA. Magnification bar = 50 μm.
