mRNA level was measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Values represent fold changes compared to the control. Data are expressed as mean ± SE of at least three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate (n = 3). * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 vs. control. # p < 0.05 vs. TBE-50.
