Protein expression of HSP70 and HSP27 in the ipsilateral hemisphere. a HSP70 expression was significantly greater in both the HI groups, as compared to the sham-NT group that demonstrated little or no HSP70 expression (*p < 0.001). Hypothermia decreased the post-ischemic HSP70 expression in the neonatal rat brain (**p < 0.01). b HSP27 expression was greater in the two HI groups than in the sham-NT groups (*P < 0.001). HSP27 expression was lower in the HI-HT group than in the HI-NT group (†p < 0.05). Constitutional expression of HSP27, which was not influenced by HT, was observed in the sham groups.
