Figure 6
Protein expression of inflammatory cytokines: (a) protein bands of IL-1β; (b) protein bands of IL-6; (c) protein bands of TNF-α; (d) protein bands of IFN-γ; (e) relative protein expression of IL-1β; (f) relative protein expression of IL-6; (g) relative protein expression of TNF-α; (h) relative protein expression of IFN-γ. C: control rats; EP: rats with experimental periodontitis; PS: rats exposed to psychological stress; EP+PS: rats with experimental periodontitis exposed to psychological stress; EP+PS+DR: rats with experimental periodontitis exposed to psychological stress and treated with fluoxetine. The data are expressed as , vs. the C group and PS group; #, vs. the EP+PS group.
