Effect of L7Gn on TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA levels in the hippocampus of sleep-deprived mice. L7Gn was dissolved in 70% PEG-saline, and FXT was dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline. Mice were administered vehicle (70% PEG), L7Gn (0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg), or FXT (20 mg/kg) once daily for five days. The mRNA expression of (A) TNF-α and (B) IL-1β was assessed via qRT-PCR. (A) TNF-α: (one-way ANOVA: F (5, 26) = 2.649, p = 0.0459) (B) IL-1β: (one-way ANOVA: F (5, 29) = 2.789, p = 0.0356). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5–7/group). * p < 0.05, significantly different from the control group. # p < 0.05, significantly different from the vehicle group. CTL, control; Veh, vehicle; FXT, fluoxetine.
