Figure 2From: Hippocampal neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 downstream signaling imbalance in a rat model of chronic aluminium gluconate administration Expression of PG synthase mRNA in rat hippocampus (n = 4). The expression of PG synthase mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. The middle band on the PCR images is a marker. The relative mRNA level of PG synthase was standardized to endogenous β-actin mRNA for each sample. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of four individual experiments. Al administration induced a significant increase of TXAS, mPGES-1 and PGIS compared with the control group (∗P < 0.05).Back to article page
