Figure 5. Increased GFAP Expression Measured Following Blast Injury.

Figure 5

A, a significant increase in GFAP mRNA abundance was measured in the ipsilateral S1BF region at 24 hours post-blast (*P < 0.05 vs SHAM); B, one-way ANOVA, Dunnetts post-hoc. Mean ± sem. n = 5. A significant increase in GFAP protein expression was also observed in the ipsilateral S1BF region at 72 hours post-blast (*P < 0.05). One-way ANOVA, Dunnetts post-hoc. Mean ± sem. n = 5. Image from a TBI brain slice shows blood vessels (marked by residual ICG-albumin after washout) surrounded by robust astrocyte reactivity (GFAP); imaged at 20x, scale bar = 30 μm. Arrow demarcates inset; imaged at 63x.
