Effects of TFE on TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression. (a) Agarose gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR amplification of TNF-α, IL-1β and β-actin mRNA. (b) Densitometric analysis of PCR products of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA. The results represented mean ± S.D. of values obtained from 7 mice in each group, with significance showed as ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 compared with normal group and ^#𝑃<0.05 and ^##𝑃<0.01 compared with model group.
