Figure 4. Effects of isoflurane on cleaved caspase-12 in the cerebral cortex.

Figure 4

A) Representative Western blot of cleaved caspase-12 in the cerebral cortex after 6 h exposure to isoflurane (1.5%ISO) or preconditioning (PC) with 1.5% isoflurane before the same 6 h isoflurane exposure (PC+1.5%ISO). B) Quantitation of caspase-12 levels, normalized to β-actin as percent of control, showed no significant differences in the levels of cleaved caspase-12 in the postnatal day 7 (P7) brain between groups exposed to1.5% isoflurane for 6 hours compared to controls (P=0.96) or compared with isoflurane PC (P=0.17) or the PC group compared to controls (P=0.27). Controls, n=9; 1.5%ISO, n=9; PC+1.5%ISO, n=9. Data are presented as box plots of the means with whiskers (min to max).
