Fig. 1From: Mitochondrial protective effects caused by the administration of mefenamic acid in sepsisMefenamic acid decreases brain cytokines and NLRP3 levels and microglial activation in the brain of septic animals. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and perforation and mefenamic acid (10, 30 and 50 mg/kg) was administered immediately after sepsis induction. Twenty-four hours after rats were euthanized and the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were isolated to the determination of A IL-1β, B IL-18, C TNF-α and D NLRP3 levels. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, with the statistical difference calculated using the one-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey's post hoc test. *p < 0.05 vs Sham + saline and #p < 0.05 vs CLP + saline. n = 8 per groupBack to article page
