Effects of Tert-Butylhydroquinone on Intestinal Inflammatory Response and Apoptosis following Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice

Figure 2

Concentrations of inflammatory cytokines in the intestinal tissue in sham + vehicle group, TBI + vehicle group, and TBI + tBHQ group (𝑛=6). The figure indicates that concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the intestine were significantly increased after TBI and could be suppressed when treated with tBHQ. ^∗∗𝑃<.01 versus sham + vehicle group. ^#𝑃<.05 and ^##𝑃<.01 versus TBI + vehicle group.
