Extended view Compact view

Methods Endpoint/measurement parameters/methodology

• molecular biosynthesis: mRNA expression of c-fos, c-jun, hsp70, and GFAP (for the analysis of cell activation and stress); expression of protein products (heat-shock protein (hsp) 70, FOS, JUN, and KROX)
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell proliferation (BrdU (bromodeoxyuridine) incorporation)
• effects on the neurological system: degenerative processes in the brain (see above)
• thermoregulation: rectal temperature
• glial response (glial marker proteins)
