Examination of the inflammation level and antioxidative capacity in brain tissue. (a) The mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in brain tissue were analyzed by Q-PCR. (b) The mRNA levels of SOD and CAT in the brain tissue were analyzed by Q-PCR. Data are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ; . (c) Paraffin sections of hippocampus from brain tissues of AD model mice were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for GFAP. GFAP is indicated in yellow. Data are representative of each group (). (d) The expression of GFAP protein in the brain was determined by Western blotting. The relative band density of GFAP was analyzed using Image J. Data are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ; ; versus model group.
