Figure 7

Preoperative sleep disturbance augmented operation-induced blood-brain barrier disruption. (a) EB content and the protein levels of albumin in the hippocampus. (b) Expression levels of occludin and claudin-5 protein in the hippocampus. (c) Expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein in the hippocampus. The data are presented as the (). and vs. the Con group; and vs. the Sur group.
