mRNA expressions of inflammatory mediators in brain infarct area. Significantly higher mRNA expressions of (A) interleukin (IL)-18, (B) toll-like receptor (TLR)-4, and (C) plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 in group 2 than in group 3 and normal controls (group 1), and notably higher in group 3 than in group 1. (n = 10 per group) * vs. †, p < 0.001; * vs. ‡, p < 0.01; †vs. ‡, p < 0.04.
