Male mice were exposed for 6 h to diesel exhaust (DE, 250–300 μg/m3) or filtered air (FA), and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and of interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β) were measured in the olfactory bulb, as markers of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation) and neuroinflammation, respectively. Results are the mean (±SE) with . DE versus FA: **;
versus or : # (two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons) (Costa et al., unpublished results). |
