Figure 6From: Cerebrovascular expression of proteins related to inflammation, oxidative stress and neurotoxicity is altered with agingTotal RNA extracted from brain microvessels of 6, 12, 18 and 24 month old rats was reverse transcribed and amplified with (a) IL-1β or (b) IL-6 specific primers. Amplified products were visualized in 1.5% agarose gel and band intensity represented as bars. Data were normalized relative to GAPDH expression. Data are mean ± SD from 3 experiments performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05 vs. 6 months; **p < 0.01 vs. 6 months.Back to article page
