Pro-inflammatory cytokines levels in kidneys of ADX, sham operated, and myrcene treated sham and ADX rats: IL-1β (A); IL-6 (B); TNF-α (C); and NF-қB (D). The ADX group showed significantly increased concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, and NF-қB compared to sham operated group. Myrcene decreased significantly IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and NF-қB compared to untreated ADX, while sham controls (untreated and treated) remained unchanged. Each data-point represents the mean ± STD of 6–9 rats per group. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p <0.001 compared to naïve; #
