Dexamethasone but not meloxicam reduces the levels of Bb-induced cytokines and chemokines in frontal cortex explants after 6 h of incubation. The graphs represent the effect of the anti-inflammatory drugs on the levels of a IL-6, b IL-8, c CCL2, d IL-1β, e IL-10, f IL-18, g TNF-α, h VEGF, and i G-CSF. The two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test were used to evaluate the statistical significance between means and SEM of triplicate data sets, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
