Fig. 12From: Role of NADPH oxidase-2 in the progression of the inflammatory response secondary to striatum excitotoxic damageActive caspase-3 in mice treated with IL-10 after glutamate administration. Active caspase-3 was measured in striatal homogenates of wild-type (WT) mice treated with NaCl 0.9% (S.S.), only glutamate 1 M (− IL-10) or glutamate + 0.4 ng/mL of IL-10 (+ IL-10) at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after glutamate administration. Fluorescence produced by the cleavage of the specific substrate was quantified in relative units of fluorescence (FRU). Data are expressed as fold change of fluorescence relative to saline without IL-4. Values are means ± SEM of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs the corresponding saline control; ϕp < 0.05 vs the corresponding time of mice treated with glutamate aloneBack to article page
