Figure 5. Effects of PM2.5 exposure on the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in brain microvessels.

Figure 5

The mRNA expression of TNF-α (A) and IL-6 (B), and protein levels of TNF-α (C) and IL-6 (D) after 12 week PM2.5 exposure were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SE (n = 6). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 as compared to the FA group; ★p < 0.05, ★★★p < 0.001 as compared to the normal chow diet group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 as compared to the high-cholesterol diet group.
