Fig. 4From: Perioperative Dexmedetomidine attenuates brain ischemia reperfusion injury possibly via up-regulation of astrocyte Connexin 43Effects of dexmedetomidine on Cx43 expression after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD 4 h, re-oxygenation 48 h). a The expression of Cx43 was assessed using Western blot and the representative image was shown. Tubulin was used as the internal loading control. b Quantitative analysis of each group was conducted. Results were presented as mean ± SD (n = 6) and analyzed using One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. *P < 0.05Back to article page
