Fig. 7From: Vitamin B12 is neuroprotective in experimental pneumococcal meningitis through modulation of hippocampal DNA methylationEffect of BM and adjuvant therapy with vitamin B12 on Ccl3 gene methylation in the hippocampus. Percentage of methylated DNA in a region covering part of the promotor of Ccl3 gene. The absolute standard curve method was used to quantify the DNA amount, and data were expressed as a percentage of methylated DNA [(captured DNA/input DNA) × 100]. The effects of BM and vitamin B12 were compared using a 2-way ANOVA (Bonferroni post hoc test). P values in tables below the graphs refer to the 2-way ANOVA and asterisks refer to the post hoc test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001Back to article page
