Assessment of inflammatory profile in hippocampal tissues. In nicotine-ethanol withdrawn rats, concentrations of anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines were decreased and increased including IL-10 and TNF-α, respectively (A and B). As shown, for both indices, CoQ10 treatment effectively prevented the mentioned effect. In addition, the effect of CoQ10 at the dose of (400 mg/kg) was almost equipotential to that of the Bup + Nal and the most potent effect was found in naïve rats treated by CoQ10 alone. Abbreviations: Nic: nicotine, Eth: ethanol, CoQ10: Coenzyme Q10, Bup: bupropion, Nal: naloxone, IL-10: Interleukin-10 and TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha. P**** < 0.0001.
