From: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 plays a pro-life role in experimental brain stem death via MAPK signal-interacting kinase at rostral ventrolateral medulla

Figure 2

Activation of ERK1/2 in RVLM during the pro-life phase of experimental brain stem death. Changes in total ERK or phosphorylated ERK at Thr202 and Tyr204 in folds relative to sham-control (SC), detected in ventrolateral medulla during the pro-life phase I (MI) or pro-death phase II (MII) of experimental brain stem death or during comparable time points after treatment with aCSF (AI or AII). Values are presented as mean ± SEM of triplicate analyses on tissue samples pooled from 5-7 animals in each experimental group. *P < 0.05 versus corresponding aCSF group (AI or AII) in the Scheffé multiple-range analysis.
