Dexamethasone Treatment Reverses Cognitive Impairment but Increases Brain Oxidative Stress in Rats Submitted to Pneumococcal Meningitis

Figure 1

The step-down inhibitory avoidance. The step-down inhibitory avoidance test showed meningitis group with dexamethasone treatment (0.7 mg/kg/1 day) and demonstrated group meningitis with dexamethasone treatment (0.2 mg/kg/7 days). Data was presented as media and interquartile ranges, 𝑛=10 rats per group. *𝑃<0.05 versus training.
