Fig. 8: Effects of CAP and Nic on IL-6 and TGF-β expression in MPTP-induced mice.

a Representative automated western immunoblotting images of IL-6 and TGF-β in the olfactory bulb; b The IL-6 statistical results in the olfactory bulb; c The TGF-β statistical results in the olfactory bulb; d Representative automated western immunoblotting images of IL-6 and TGF-β in the striatum; e The IL-6 statistical results in the striatum; f The TGF-β statistical results in the striatum; g Representative automated western immunoblotting of IL-6 and TGF-β in the substantia nigra; h The IL-6 statistical results in the substantia nigra; i The TGF-β statistical results in the substantia nigra. (n = 5 mice per group for a–i). Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
