Exploratory Investigation of Intestinal Structure and Function after Stroke in Mice

Figure 3

Stroke caused intestinal inflammation. (a) Representative images of hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of the ileum (magnification ×200, red arrow points to the leukocyte infiltration). (b) Chiu’s score for the intestinal mucosa () (Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA on ranks). (c) Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured () (two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test). (d, e) Representative western blots and quantification data of iNOS, NF-κB, and GAPDH for each group () (two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test). Data were expressed as . , , and . ns: not significant. Scale bar: 100 μm.
