Effects of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor on Local Inflammation in Experimental Stroke of Rat

Figure 5

BDNF modulating local cytokine in brain after stroke Interleukin10 (IL10) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in rat brain after stroke were measured using ELISA kits. (a) Exogenous BDNF upregulated IL-10 24 h after reperfusion while BDNF antibody decreased IL-10 6 h after reperfusion. (b) Exogenous BDNF decreased TNF-α at 6 h and 24 h of reperfusion than control group and BDNF antibody overwhelmed the effect. Bars represent mean ± SD ( 𝑛 = 6 ). * 𝑃 < . 0 5 versus control group, # 𝑃 < . 0 5 versus BDNF group.
