Dexamethasone prevents COX2 content in the hippocampus. COX1 and COX2 content were measured by Western blot. Representative images of COX1 and COX2 in the hippocampus at 1 and 56 days after treatment (a, b). Chemiluminescent quantification of protein/actin of COX 1 (c, d) and COX 2 (e, f). Dexamethasone prevented the increase in COX2 content in the hippocampus of SE animals at 1 and 56 days after treatment (e and f, respectively). Values represent mean ± standard error, of four to six animals per group. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, followed by the Tukey test. Bars without a common letter differ significantly, assuming p < 0.05
