Inflammatory parameters in brain cortex after CMS. Protein expression of COX-2 in control and after CMS in the brain (A). Brain levels of the pro-inflammatory prostaglandin PGE2 (B), the anti-inflammatory one 15d-PGJ2 (C), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA levels in control and after CMS in the brain (D). Data are mean ± SEM of 8-10 rats per group. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. Control group (two-tailed t-test).
