Fig. 5. Western blot analysis of glutamate transporter-1 in hippocampus (A ) and cortex (B ). Western blot analysis showed a decrease in glutamate transporter-1 in rats in the subarachnoid hemorrhage and vehicle groups, but not in the curcumin group. *P < 0.05 for subarachnoid hemorrhage and vehicle groups versus  sham group. ^#P < 0.05 for curcumin group versus  subarachnoid hemorrhage and vehicle groups. All data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA; n = 6. The curcumin group is subarachnoid hemorrhage rats treated with curcumin; the vehicle group is subarachnoid hemorrhage rats treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. Cur = curcumin; GLT-1 = glutamate transporter-1; SAH = subarachnoid hemorrhage.
