Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of PSO on LPS-induced expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in N2a cells treated with PSO. ( a ) Representative Western blot images showing the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Groups include Control, LPS (1 µg/ mL), LPS co-treatment with different concentrations of PSO (0.2, 10, and 25 µg/mL), and PSO (0.2, 10, and 25 µg/mL) (see ). ( b ) Quantification of total iNOS protein levels normalized to β-actin. ( c ) Quantification of IL-1β protein levels normalized to β-actin. ( d ) Quantification of TNF-α protein levels normalized to β-actin. Statistical significance: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; **** p < 0.0001, with asterisk (*) indicating the comparison versus control group; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, with (#) indicating the comparison with the LPS-treated group. Data are presented as the mean ± SD.
