[Retracted] Fractalkine Attenuates Microglial Cell Activation Induced by Prenatal Stress

Figure 5

Effect of fractalkine on the prenatal stress-induced production of NO and iNOS expression in microglia cell cultures. The microglia obtained from the control and prenatally stressed rats were treated with fractalkine for 24 h. The NO concentrations were measured using Griess reagents (a). The levels of the iNOS mRNA and protein were evaluated after 24 hours of treatment using qRT-PCR (b) and Western blotting (c), respectively. The results from the Griess reactions are shown as a % of the control ± SEM. The qRT-PCR data are shown as the average fold changes ± SEM. The Western blot data are shown as a % of the control ± SEM (the results are normalized to β-actin); ; versus the control; versus the stress group.
