From: Pro-life role for c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase at rostral ventrolateral medulla in experimental brain stem death

Figure 3

Activation of transcription factor ATF-2, c-Jun, rather than Elk-1 in RVLM during the pro-life phase of experimental brain stem death. Changes in the activity of ATF-2, c-Jun or Elk-1 represented by phosphorylation respectively at Thr71, Ser73 or Ser383, in folds relative to sham-control (SC), detected in ventrolateral medulla during the pro-life (MI) or pro-death (MII) phase of experimental brain stem death or during comparable time points in aCSF-controls (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 in the post hoc Scheffé multiple-range analysis.
