Figure 5
Molecular underpinnings of impaired neuron-astrocyte integrity in MSEW rats. (A) Representative western-blot images of the target proteins (including ATP-α, GLT-1, GLAST, PAG, GAD65, and GS) in PFC of rats, along with that of α-tubulin as the reference. (B) Bar chart comparing levels of all the measured proteins of the two groups. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. N = 8/group. Comparisons were made between Control and MSEW groups. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. The samples derived from the same experiment and gels/blots were processed in parallel. The original images of Western blot for this figure are presented in supplementary materials.
