Fig 2. Relative quantification values of mtDNA concentrations measured in peripheral whole blood for each gene measured from pre-injury to post-injury in focal, controlled cortical impact (CCI) traumatic brain injury.

Box plot analysis illustrating the difference in relative quantification values of mtDNA concentrations measured in peripheral whole blood for each gene measured from pre-injury to 25 hours post-CCI. Increases in all three genes measured were similar following CCI at 25 hours. Nicotinamide adenine dinuclueotide dehydrogenase (NADH) subunit 4mitochondrial (ND4-1). Cytochrome c oxidase subunit (COI-1) and I-A (COI-1A). All values are mean ± SEM.
