Induction of bmf and noxa following transient focal cerebral ischemia in wt mice. Real-time qPCR measurement of (a and b) noxa and (c and d) bmf mRNA expression in the cortex 3, 8 and 24 h following 60 min MCA occlusion with reperfusion. Data were normalized to β-actin levels and fold increases expressed relative to matched controls for n=3 per group. *P<0.05 compared with sham-treated control (ANOVA, post hoc Tukey’s test)
