The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly increased in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of the SE+PEG400 group compared with the Control group (A–C). The level of IL-1β was solely significantly attenuated in the hippocampus of SE+0.1TPPU group compared with the SE+PEG400 group (A). (Figure 5A–C, one-way ANOVA test, n = 4 in every group, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01). Hip, hippocampus. IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, Interleukin-6; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor.
