Effects of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), relative cerebral perfusion, and cerebral vascular resistance (CVR) after penicillamine methyl ester (PenME) treatment (n = 8/group). (A) MAP was significantly elevated in the bTBI group compared with the sham and bTBI+PenME groups. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the sham and bTBI+PenME groups (p = 0.24, sham vs. bTBI+PenME). (B) Relative cerebral perfusion was significantly reduced in both the bTBI and bTBI+PenME groups compared with sham but did not differ significantly between the bTBI and bTBI+PenME groups (p = 0.11, bTBI vs. bTBI+PenME). (C) CVR was significantly elevated in the bTBI group compared with the sham and bTBI+PenME groups, but was significantly reduced in the bTBI+PenME group compared with both the sham and bTBI groups. Values are means ± SEM. *p < 0.01 versus sham; **p < 0.001 versus bTBI+PenME; ***p < 0.0001 versus sham; ††p < 0.0001 versus bTBI+PenMe; †††p < 0.0001 versus bTBI.
