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

Figure 3

Expression of ICAM-1 in the intestinal tissue in sham + vehicle group, TBI + vehicle group, and TBI + tBHQ group (𝑛=6). (a) Sham + vehicle group mice showing low ICAM-1 immunoreactivity. (b) TBI + vehicle group showing increased ICAM-1 immunoreactivity. (c) TBI + tBHQ group mice showing less ICAM-1 immunoreactivity than those of TBI + vehicle group. (d) tBHQ administration significantly downregulated the ICAM-1 expression in mice gut following TBI. ^∗∗𝑃<.01 versus sham + vehicle group; ^##𝑃<.01 versus TBI + vehicle group.
