Fig. 6From: Chronic glucocorticoid exposure activates BK-NLRP1 signal involving in hippocampal neuron damageEffects of chronic DEX treatment on expression of BK mRNA and protein in hippocampus tissue in mice. a The results of DEX 5 mg/kg treatment for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days on expression of BK mRNA in hippocampus tissue (real-time PCR). b The results of DEX 5 mg/kg treatment for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days on expression of BK channel protein in hippocampus tissue (immunoblot). Results are expressed as mean ± SD, real-time PCR n = 3, immunoblot n = 4. *P < 0.05 compared to control groupBack to article page
