Fig. 1: Hyperphosphorylated tau in hippocampus and anterior cortex of blast-exposed rats.

Tau phosphorylation was analyzed at 6 weeks a and at 10 months b after blast exposure. Top row, AT270, middle row, total tau (tau), bottom row GAPDH. Graphs indicate p-tau levels expressed as the ratio of p-tau to total tau. Error bars indicate standard deviation (SD) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. controls, unpaired t-tests). n = 5/group except for control at 6 weeks (n = 4). Size markers (kDa) are indicated by arrows next to each panel. p-tau blots were sequentially reprobed for total tau followed by GAPDH.
