Cytokine expression in the hippocampus and in plasma.
(A) CD11b, GFAP, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα mRNA expression was measured by real-time PCR in the hippocampus of 3-month-old (young) and 22-month-old (aged) mice fed with the control diet or the LCω3 diet for 2 months. Data are presented as mean relative fold change ± SEM. *** p<0.001, ** p<0.01, * p<0.05. (B) IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα were measured by using a multiplex cytokines assays in the plasma. Data are presented as mean ± SEM in pg/ml. * p<0.05.
