Figure 8.
Quantitative analysis (pg/ml) of proinflammatory cytokines in cortex. The analysis showed a lack of r-mTBI cytokines behavior (A–J). However, treatment with Nilvadipine caused an increase in IFN-γ (A), IL-12p70 (C) and IL-2 (F) in the injured mice vs. sham-vehicle mice. Nilvadipine didn’t have an effect on cytokines in sham mice. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean; significance is calculated using one-way ANOVA. *p <0.5; **p < 0.01.
