Impact of targeted Gαi₂ or control scrambled (SCR) intracerebroventricular oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) infusion [25 µg (5 µl)⁻¹ day⁻¹ for 7 days] and minocycline (MINO)–ODN co‐infusion [ODN, 25 µg (5 µl)⁻¹ day⁻¹; MINO, 120 µg day⁻¹ for 7 days in HS group only] in male Sprague–Dawley rats receiving 7 days of normal‐salt (NS; 0.6% NaCl) or high‐salt (HS; 4% NaCl) diets on paraventricular nucleus (PVN) mRNA levels of IL‐1β (a), IL‐6 (b), TNFα (c) and IL‐10 (d) (n = 6 per group, ^* P < 0.05 versus control in respective ODN treatment group, ^τ P < 0.05 versus HS in respective ODN treatment group, mean ± SD.)
