Expression of mRNA for inflammatory cytokines. Quantification of mRNA levels of IL-1β (a), IL-6 (b), and NF-κB (d) at 6 h. Expression of inflammatory cytokines and NF-κB was significantly lower in the PPARβ/δ group than in the vehicle group (a–c). The mRNA expression levels of I-κBα were higher in the PPARβ/δ group as compared to that observed for the vehicle group (d). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8) ** p < 0.01 or * p < 0.05.
