Lung injury in pre-transition period rats-pups augments GluR2-containing AMPA receptor (GluA2) expression in the nTS

A Representative images of coronal brainstem sections from saline-treated (black) and Bleo-treated (magenta) groups showing immunohistochemical staining that is GluA2+ in commissural (SolC), medial (SolM) and dorsomedial (SolDM) subnuclei of the nTS.

B GluA1+ staining in the nTS was not significantly different in Bleo-treated (n = 5) and saline-treated (n = 5) rats (P = 0.40, Two-tail t-Test).

C GluA2+ staining in the nTS was significantly greater in Bleo-treated (n=4), than of saline-treated rats (n=4, *P = 0.016, Two-tail t-Test).

D GluA4+ staining in the nTS was not significantly different in Bleo-treated (n=5) and saline-treated (n = 5) rats (P = 0.55, Two-tail t-Test)
