| LW-BW ratio | NA | 0.03±0.004 | NA | 0.035±0.005 |
| SW-BW ratio | NA | 0.003±0.0005 | NA | 0.0038±0.0008 |
| Ig M, mg/ml | NA | 0.25±0.09 | NA | 0.299±0.19 |
Data expressed are mean ± SD.
The analysis of data was done by one-way ANOVA and post hoc by Tukey-Kramer test except for LW-BW ratio, SW-BW ratio and Ig M. Analysis of LW-BW ratio, SW-BW ratio and Ig M was done by Student's unpaired t test.
NA = Not applicable. Sham means the lesion making needle electrode was introduced in to the brain but current was not passed.
