DOP regulates the inflammatory and apoptotic factor expressions in the SMG of ESS mice. (a–c) qRT-PCR to detect the TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17 expressions in SMG. (d–f) qRT-PCR to detect the Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 expressions in SMG. (g, h) Bax, Bcl-2, and Cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression levels in SMG were evaluated using western blot. A value of was considered statistically significant. , , , and vs. mice in the model group.
