mbTBI decreases astrocyte GFAP expression in early time points after mbTBI. A-D Western blot analysis of GFAP from amygdala region of male and female rats. Representative western blot and respective densitometry quantification (middle panel) of GFAP from brain amygdala lysates after, A 6 h post-mbTBI, B 24 h post-mbTBI, C 7 d post-mbTBI and D14 d post-mbTBI in male and female rats (n = 5–7/group). E Representative GFAP immunohistochemistry micrographs from brain amygdala region of male and female rats at 24 h and 7 d post-mbTBI. Data represented as Mean ± SEM. P ≤ 0.0001 ****; P ≤ 0.001 *** by Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc A, B, C, D
