Figure Lengend Snippet: Time course of functional damage to the intestinal barrier and blood-brain barrier during the acute stage of heatstroke The mice were exposed to 41.2 ± 0.5°C ambient temperature until their rectal temperature reached 42.4°C, and then they were allowed to recover at an ambient temperature of 25 ± 0.5°C for the indicated times. (A) The concentration of FD-4 in serum was measured after its oral administration. (B) Serum endotoxin levels. (C) EB was injected into the mice via the tail vein after the onset of heatstroke, and representative images of EB leakage was shown. (D) Quantitative analysis of EB concentrations in brain tissues. (E) Expression of MMP-2 in the cerebral cortex at 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h post heatstroke. (F) Expression of MMP-9 in the cerebral cortex at 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h post heatstroke. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, vs. Con.
Article Snippet: The membrane was further incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against MMP9 (TA326652; ORIGENE, USA), MMP2 (TA326260; ORIGENE, USA) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; 2118L; CST, USA).
