PCMS abrogates LPS-induced oxidative stress. Brain MDA level (a) and SOD activities (b). Relative mRNA expression of apoptotic markers Bax (c) and Bcl-2 (d) in hippocampus. The immunostaining images of 8-OHdG in the hippocampal CA1 region (e). Scale bar = 50 μm. Data are means ± SEM (n = 6–7). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the saline-treated naive group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared with the corresponding LPS group
