Figure 4. Neonatal inflammation does not increase adult medullary or spinal inflammatory gene expression.

Homogenate samples isolated from adult medullas showed no significant increase in inflammatory mRNA after neonatal inflammation (A). Similarly, homogenate samples from isolated adult cervical spinal cords (B) were not increased by neonatal inflammation, but COX2 gene expression was significantly decreased in adults after neonatal inflammation (*p < 0.05).
