Expression levels of further factors involved in post-ischemic inflammation and repair. Expression levels of different factors involved in post-ischemic inflammation and repair processes measured by RT-PCR are shown in Figure 3 (A: IL-6; B: HIF-1α; C: iNOS; D: MMP9). Samples were taken from the penumbra in tMCAO or corresponding region in sham animals plus corresponding contralateral regions (Sham N2 n = 9; Sham Ar n = 8; tMCAO N2 n = 12; tMCAO n = 12). All values are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
