Figure 3. Cultured spinal microglia and astrocytes express mRNAs encoding 12/15-LOX with Hepoxilin synthase activity.

Primary rat spinal microglia (A) express mRNAs for 12-LOX-p (Alox12), eLOX3 (Aloxe3) and 15-LOX-1 (Alox15) while spinal astrocytes (B) express mRNAs for 12-LOX-p (Alox12) and 15-LOX-1 (Alox15) as measured by qPCR. Levels are expressed in arbitrary units, n = 5 samples/group.
