Acute or repeated administration of SEA increased IL-1β mRNA levels in the aged, but not young, mice in the hypothalamus (A). Both young and aged mice showed increased levels of IL-1β mRNA in the amygdala after acute or repeated SEA administration (B). For TNF-α, aged mice showed increased expression in the hypothalamus following repeated SEA administration (C), but no differences were observed in the amygdala (D). IL-6 mRNA levels were not altered in either the hypothalamus (E) or amygdala (F) by SEA administration. The threshold cycle for each sample was converted to arbitrary units based on the standard curve. Data are expressed as means ± SEMs. Individual groups had n of 9–10 mice. * indicates a significant difference from saline controls.
