Fig. 9From: 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 ZO-1 in the cerebral cortex (a), renal cortex (b) and colon (c). HIBD induced a significant decrease in the ZO-1 mRNA expression in the cerebral cortex, renal cortex and colon. Melatonin treatment could significantly increase the ZO-1 mRNA expression in the renal cortex and colon in comparison with the one without melatonin treatment in HIBD group. The data represent the mean ± SDBack to article page
