Figure 4From: Effects of peripheral inflammation on the blood-spinal cord barrier Intraplantar carrageenan does not result in significant reduction in lumbar spinal occludin protein. Intraplantar carrageenan does not result in the reduction of spinal occludin protein at 72 hours post-carrageenan in male and female rats as compared to vehicle, but this is detected after intrathecal LPS. (A). Densitometric quantification reveals significant decreases in the occludin/actin ratio after LPS, but not at 72 hours post-carrageenan as compared to vehicle (B). Abbreviations: female (FEM), others as in Figure 1, 2, and 3.Back to article page
