Figure 3 Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid treatment upregulates the expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 2 within the caudal nucleus tractus solitarius. A: Representative Western blots for VGluT1 and VGluT2 within the caudal nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) on postoperative days (POD) 7, 14, and 28; B: VGluT1 amount within the caudal NTS showed no changes after trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) treatment; C: VGluT2 amount within the caudal NTS was significantly increased on POD 7, 14, and 28 after TNBS treatment. n = 3 rats per each group, one-way ANOVA, aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01, TNBS vs sham. TNBS: Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid; VGluT1: Vesicular glutamate transporter 1; VGluT2: Vesicular glutamate transporter 2.
