Antidepressant-Like Effects of Gyejibokryeong-hwan in a Mouse Model of Reserpine-Induced Depression

Figure 5

Effect of Gyejibokryeong-hwan (GBH) on IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA expression in mice with reserpine-induced depression. The expression of (a) IL-1β, (b) IL-6, and (c) TNF-α mRNA was determined via quantitative real-time PCR. Data represent mean ± standard deviation (SD) (n = 6, one-way ANOVA; < 0.01 versus normal; p < 0.05, p < 0.01 versus control). IL-1: interleukin 1 beta; IL-6: interleukin 6; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; PCR: polymerase chain reaction.
