Fig. 4From: Neuroprotective effects of intravenous immunoglobulin are mediated through inhibition of complement activation and apoptosis in a rat model of sepsisBrain expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratios evaluated by immunoblotting, quantified by measuring band intensity with ImageJ, normalized by β-actin expression, and expressed as arbitrary units. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. In the Bcl-2 panel, the asterisks denote significant differences between CLP, CLP-IgG, and CLP-IgGAM groups vs the control and sham groups; in the Bax and Bax/Bcl-2 panels, the asterisks denote significant differences between the CLP group vs the other groups. Vertical bars indicate standard deviations. Lower panel shows representative immunoblotting bands for each group and time pointBack to article page
