Figure 3. ASF experiment—cytokine mRNA expression in brain.

Figure 3

Effects of acute sleep fragmentation (ASF), adrenergic blockade, and their interaction on cytokine (IL1β, TNFα, and TGFβ) mRNA expression in prefrontal cortex (A, D, G), hippocampus (B, E, H), and hypothalamus (C, F, I) of mice injected with a pharmacological adrenergic block (phentolamine (Phe) or propranolol (Pro) or vehicle (Veh) and were either subjected to control (CON) or ASF. Sample sizes of each treatment group are listed with their respective bar graph and were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD post hoc tests. Data shown as means 1 SE for each group and differing letters denotes p < 0.05.
