UTI decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels, MDA production, and MPO activity in the cerebral cortex after ROSC. TNF-α mRNA (A) and IL-6 mRNA (B) expression levels were lower in the VF + UTI group than in the VF + PBS group at each time point. TNF-α (E) and IL-6 (F) protein levels were also lower in the VF + UTI group than in the VF + PBS group. Oxidative stress damage as expressed by the MDA level was more severe in the VF + UTI group than in the VF + PBS group (C). UTI decreased MPO activity in the cerebral cortex in the VF + UTI group after ROSC (F) (n = 6 at each time point in different groups). * VF + PBS versus VF + UTI, p<0.05.
