Figure 4: Assessment of the inflammatory response in wild type and galectin-3 knockout mice after TBI.

Analysis of the gene expression on the ipsilateral side of the isolated cortex and hippocampus in wild type and galectin-3 knockout mice for IL-1β (a), TNF-α (b) and NOS-2 (c), Arginase-1 (d), Ym1 (e) and BDNF (f). Statistics and error bars: mean ± s.d. n = 5. Data were analysed using a two-sided Student’s t-test followed by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD). *p < 0.05 **p < 0.01.
