Effects of heat stress on cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction in the mouse hippocampus. (a) Representative immunohistochemical photomicrographs of COX-2 expression. Scale bar = 50 μm. (b) The graphs display the optical density of COX-2 immunoreactivity in the CA3 region. Values are expressed as means ± S.E.M. *p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001 as compared with the control group. (c) Representative Western blot showing the expression of COX-2 and iNOS in the hippocampus. The graphs display densitometric analyses of the expression ratios of COX-2/β-actin (d) and iNOS/β-actin (e) in the mouse hippocampus. Values are expressed as means ± S.E.M. *** p < 0.001 as compared with the control group
