Figure 5From: Intracerebroventricular injection of leukotriene B4 attenuates antigen-induced asthmatic response via BLT1 receptor stimulating HPA-axis in sensitized ratsLTB 4 via i.c.v injection increases expression of CRH in the hypothalamus in sensitized rats. Representative blots and densitometry analysis for expression of CRH mRNA by RT-PCR (A) and protein by Western blot (B). The blots are representative of three similar experiments, each run with independent samples. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. of each group (n = 3). #P < 0.05 vs the vehicle-sham group;†P < 0.05 vs the LTB4-OVA or LY255283-LTB4-OVA groupBack to article page
