Fig. 8From: Melatonin alleviates brain and peripheral tissue edema in a neonatal rat model of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage: the involvement of edema related proteinsReal time-qPCR for AQP-4 in the cerebral cortex (a), renal cortex (b) and colon (c). HIBD induced a significant increase in the AQP-4 mRNA expression in the cerebral cortex and colon. Melatonin treatment significantly decreased the AQP-4 mRNA expression in comparison with the one without melatonin treatment in HIBD group. The data represent the mean ± SDBack to article page
