Proinflammatory cytokine level expression in the hippocampus of rat brain of all four groups.
| Parameters | non-HAE+ | HAE+ | HAE+ | HAE+HSP-70Ab+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (pg/mg protein) | non-HBO2T | non-HBO2T | HBO2T | HBO2T |
| TNF-α | 31±10 | 62±12∗ | 39±11+ | 58±13# |
| IL-1β | 37±11 | 165±24∗ | 62±12+ | 171±25# |
| IL-6 | 113±27 | 448±86∗ | 203±56+ | 459±97# |
| INF-γ | 24±10 | 49±21∗ | 22±13+ | 53±24# |
The cytokine levels are given as mean±SD of 10 rats per group. ∗P<0.05, compared with non-HBO2T group; +P<0.05, compared with HAE+ non-HBO2T group; and #P<0.05, compared with HAE+HBO2T group. See Figure 1 legend for group abbreviations.
