Bioactive TBK-SE modulates nitrotyrosine expression. Nitrotyrosine was evaluated by immunohistochemical evaluation in brain sections after CIR induction. Brain sections obtained from CIR untreated rats exhibited positive staining for nitrotyrosine in cortex (a), hippocampus (b), brainstem (c) and cerebellum (d) of CIR rats, while rats treated with bioactive TBK-SE showed negative staining for nitrotyrosine in cortex (e), hippocampus (f), brainstem (g) and cerebellum (h). By western blot analysis nitrotyrosine expression was evaluated. It was found a significant increase in nytrotirosine expression in cerebellum samples collected 7 days after CIR-induction from untreated rats. Conversely, cerebellum levels of nytrotirosine were reduced by administration of bioactive TBK-SE (i). GAPDH was used as internal control. ***p < 0.05 vs CIR
