Fig. 3From: IL-17A contributes to perioperative neurocognitive disorders through blood-brain barrier disruption in aged miceTibial fracture surgery increased serum and hippocampus IL-17A levels and hippocampus IL-17A receptor expression. The level of IL-17A in serum (a) and the hippocampus (b) 24 h after surgery was determined by ELISA. The expression of IL-17A receptors in the hippocampus 24 h after surgery was detected by Western blot (c). The expression of IL-17A receptors was quantified and normalized to GAPDH levels (d). *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus the Con group. ##P < 0.01 versus the Sur group. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 6)Back to article page
