Brain Nrf2 and ICAM-1 expression in mice after 14 days of JUUL/TS exposure with or without MCAO. A Western blot images of Nrf2 expression in normoxic brain and contralateral & ipsilateral brain hemispheres 24 h after MCAO. B–D Quantification of brain Nrf2 expression normalized to beta-actin and expressed as relative to control (1.0) in normoxic, contralateral, and ipsilateral brain regions. E Western blot images of ICAM-1 expression in normoxic brain and contralateral & ipsilateral brain hemispheres 24 h after MCAO. F–H Quantification of brain ICAM-1 expression normalized to beta-actin and expressed as relative to control (1.0) in normoxic, contralateral, and ipsilateral brain regions. *P < 0.05; n = 9 for each group (B), n = 7, 7, and 6 for control, JUUL, and TS respectively (C, D), n = 9 for each group (F), n = 6, 5, and 5 for control, JUUL, and TS respectively (G, H). Cropped images from blots have been used in some cases to improve the clarity and conciseness of the presentation. The cropped images are delineated with white space; full-length blots developed by X-ray films are presented in Additional file 1: Fig. S1
