Figure 3. SE reduced the increased ICAM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β expression in STZ-induced diabetic mice.

A: Retinal mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and ICAM-1 (n=3-4); B: Serum contents of TNF-α and IL-1β (n=6); C: Retinal protein expression of ICAM-1, representative blots for ICAM-1 and actin, and the results represent four independent experiments; D: The quantitative densitometric analysis of ICAM-1, and the results are presented as percentage of control (n=4). ^aP<0.05, ^bP<0.01 compared to control; ^cP<0.05, ^dP<0.01, ^fP<0.001 compared to DM.
