Figure 4

Western blot analysis and quantification of HIF-2α expression in the cortex 4.5 hours after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration for all LPS groups and the control group (SHAM, white bar). With the exception of the vagotomy group (VGX LPS, gray bar), no significant differences to the SHAM group were found in the LPS-treated and sham-operated (SHAM + LPS, light gray bar) or vagus nerve-stimulated groups (VGX LPS + STIM, black bar). The significant increase in the VGX LPS (gray bar) group is an indicator of a hypoxic condition; * P < 0.05 compared to SHAM; n = 6 rats each. Data are given as the mean ± SEM.
