From: Chronic immobilisation stress ameliorates clinical score and neuroinflammation in a MOG-induced EAE in Dark Agouti rats: mechanisms implicated

Figure 2

Chronic stress reduces demyelination in MOG-EAE, MMP-9 expression and leukocyte infiltration. A Analysis of Matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP-9) expression in spinal cord by western blot and densitometric analysis of the band showed higher BBB disruption in the EAE group than in the EAE+S group. (β actin expression was used as internal control) B MPO activity in spinal cord was increased in spinal cord of EAE animals C Levels of MBP in spinal cord measured by western blot showed demyelination in the EAE group. β-Actin expression was used as an internal control and densitometric analysis of the band of interest is shown below. *p < 0,05 vs EAE one way ANOVA test followed by a Newman-Keuls.
