From: Different gender-derived gut microbiota influence stroke outcomes by mitigating inflammation
Fecal microbiota transplantation changed the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors after ischemic stroke. The total RNA of the 4 groups was extracted from infarcted regions 3 days after MCAO. The gene expression levels were normalized to those of GAPDH. Mean ± SD. n = 5–7/group. △p: MCAO vs. sham. △p < 0.05. △△p < 0.01. △△△p < 0.001. #p: comparison between recipient mice of the same sex. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001. *p: comparison between recipient mice harboring the same-sex microbiota. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001
