  • SDF-1β mRNA levels of whole-brain sections expressed in nanoCuries per gram ± SD (mean values of four animals in the group 3 hr after saline injection and three animals per LPS-treated group). Bold values express measurements as percentage of the group 3 hr after saline injection. *p < 0.05 versus the saline-injected group. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test.
