Effects of PLA treatment on the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines in the SN. Rats were randomly grouped and then treated with PLA (25, 50 and 75 mg/kg) or vehicle for 6 weeks after LPS injection. On day 42, rats were decapitated and the SN was used to detect the concentrations of TNF-α a IL-6 b and IL-1β c by commercial ELISA kit. n = 6. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 vs. sham group, # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 vs. LPS group
