Partial Least Squares path modeling shows that highly significant effects of MIP+sIL-1RA+IL-10 on symptomatology are mediated by the effects of noxious TRYCATs on memory deficits.
Exposure to PQ significantly increased total WBC, neutrophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts, IL-10, interferon gama (INF-γ), nitrite (NO<sub>2</sub>), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, but catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and thiol levels were decreased (<i>p</i> < 0.05 to <i>p</i> < 0.00).<i>Z. multiflora</i> and dexamethasone treatment significantly improved all behavioral as well as lung changes induced by inhaled PQ (<i>p</i> < 0.05 to <i>p</i> < 0.01).<b>Conclusion:</b><i>Z. multiflora</i> treatment improved learning and memory impairment as well as lung inflammation and oxidative stress induced by inhaled PQ.
We found that LPS-injected mice displayed long-term depression-like behaviors and recognition memory deficit; elevated expression of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 p10; increased levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNFα; decreased levels of IL-10; and increased microglial activation.
