Effects of MTG on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein levels (a and b) and TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA expression in the hippocampus of rats with SPS-induced memory impairments. PCR bands on agarose gels and relative intensities (c). TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA levels were normalized to GAPDH levels as an internal control. Parameters were determined at the end of the experiments. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of 4 animals in each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus the CON group; #p < 0.05 versus the SPS group
