Effect of the diabetic condition on inflammatory gene expression in the post-ischemic brain. (A) A diagram for unbiased tissue sampling strategy. (B to E) Gene expressions of MCP-1 (B), IL-6 (C), CCR2 (D), and CD36 (E) in the brain at 6 h (n = 9 to 12) and 72 h (n = 4 to 5) after stroke. ND, normal mice; DD, diabetic mice. Data were expressed as fold induction in the ipsilateral hemisphere relative to contralateral side (Ipsi/Cont); ^* P <0.05, ^** P <0.01 vs. ND.
