Inflammatory protein expression in hippocampus of scopolamine-induced amnesic models—ICR and C57BL/6 strains: (a) inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor of κ inhibitor α (IκBα) and phosphorylated-nuclear factor of κ inhibitor (p-IκBα) levels in the hippocampus determined by Western blotting. Quantification of inflammatory protein expression relative to β-actin in hippocampus of (b) C57BL/6 and (c) ICR strains. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). One-way ANOVA-Tukey’s multiple comparison test was performed where, * p < 0.05 scopolamine compared with the control group.
