Fig. 4From: Persistent reduction in sialylation of cerebral glycoproteins following postnatal inflammatory exposureNeu1 mRNA is increased in brains of rat pups exposed to LPS. Expression of Neu1, Neu3, and Neu4 mRNA was measured in brain tissues of animals injected with LPS (n = 5) or saline (Sham) (n = 7) at (a) 24 h (P4) and (b) 21 days (P24) after injection. Total RNA was extracted from tissues of LPS-injected and Sham rats at P4 and P24 to analyze the expression of neuraminidases by RT-qPCR. The values were normalized for the level of control Gapdh mRNA. **p < 0.01Back to article page
