Fig. 5From: Intrathecal triamcinolone acetonide exerts anti-inflammatory effects on Lewis rat experimental autoimmune neuritis and direct anti-oxidative effects on Schwann cellsa–d RT-PCR analyses of the sciatic nerve. Relative expression of anti-inflammatory (IL-4 and IL-10) and proinflammatory (TNFα, IFN-γ) cytokines in the sciatic nerves at the peak of disease showing a Th2 anti-inflammatory cytokine shift after treatment with triamcinolone (TRIAM) 0.3 and 0.6 mg/kg compared to NaCl-treated animals. The experiment was repeated twice with similar results (n = 5/group). Mean values and SD are depictedBack to article page
