Figure 7From: Estrogen treatment following severe burn injury reduces brain inflammation and apoptotic signalingEstrogen decreases the levels of activated caspase-3 after severe burn injury. In these studies, we found that there was a significant decrease in the levels of activated caspase-3 in the estrogen treated group at 24 hours post burn. The ERK1 and 2 blot displays equal loading between wells. Depicted are mean ± SEM for n = 6. *p < 0.01 vs. Placebo.Back to article page
