Effects of Trx-1 on the gene and protein levels of Nrf2, the activation of NFκB and antioxidant defense parameters. (A) Representative protein expression bands of Nrf2. (B) Real-time quantitative PCR of Nrf2 mRNA levels in mice hippocampal tissue. (C) Representative Western blot analysis of Nrf2. (D) Antioxidant defense parameter: SOD activity analysis. (E) Antioxidant defense parameter: CAT activity analysis. (F) Antioxidant defense parameter: GSH-PX activity analysis. (G) Antioxidant defense parameter: MDA activity analysis. (H) Representative bands of the expression of NFκB. (I) Representative Western blot analysis of p-NFκB/NFκB. Tukey’s post hoc test for one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the mRNA levels, Western blot immunocontent, and antioxidant defense parameters. For each group, n = 6. The vertical lines represent the standard error of the mean. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
