Up-regulation of intestinal nuclear factor kappa B and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 following traumatic brain injury in rats

Figure 1 Jejunal NF-κB binding activity following TBI. As compared with control group, NF-κB binding activity in the jejunal tissue following TBI significantly increased at 3 h after TBI, being highest at 72 h postinjury, and remained elevated by 7 d postinjury. Upper: EMSA autoradiogram. Lane 1, control; lane 2, 3 h postinjury; lane 3, 12 h postinjury; lane 4, 24 h postinjury; lane 5, 72 h postinjury; lane 6, 7 d postinjury. Lower: bar graph showing the mean band intensity of EMSA autoradiograph in the jejunal tissue of control, 3, 12, 24, 72 h and 7 d postinjury. ^aP<0.05, ^bP<0.01. mean±SD of six animals in each group.
