Figure 3From: Post-traumatic hypoxia exacerbates neurological deficit, neuroinflammation and cerebral metabolism in rats with diffuse traumatic brain injury Increase in brain edema does not differ in traumatic axonal injury rats with or without hypoxia. Brain water content was determined at 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post-injury, and calculated as percentage of dry and wet ratio in the brain of sham (S), TAI alone, and TAI with hypoxia (TAI+Hx) animals. * indicates significant difference between groups. Both TAI and TAI+Hx showed similar increases in brain water content, and no differences were found between these groups. Data shown as mean ± SEM, n = 6 per group per time point. Data was analysed by 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test, with a p-value < 0.05 considered significant.Back to article page
