Levels of protein expression of hippocampal tissue (including whole tissue cell lysate, cytosolic or nuclear fractions) were carried out as previously described [23 (link)]. The optical density of the bands was measured and quantified by Image J (National Institute of Health, MD, USA). Primary antibodies of SOD-2, GPx-1, NFκB p65 and p50, IκBα, TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and COX-2 were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA; Synapsin-1 and Synaptophysin were purchased from Novus Biologicals, USA; PSD95 and Cleaved Caspase 3 was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology; Cleaved PARP1 was purchased from Bioworld Technology; IDO-1 was purchased from antibodies-online (ABIN1714836). The data were expressed as percentage of the control.

Protein expressions of hippocampal tissue lysate (including cytosolic and nuclear fractions) were performed as previously described [26 (link)]. The expression of β-actin served as the internal control for whole cell lysate and cytosolic fraction protein, whereas Lamin B1 served as the internal control of nuclear fraction protein. Primary antibodies of SOD-2 (rabbit polyclonal, 1:1000), GPx-1 (goat polyclonal, 1:500), NFκB p65 (rabbit polyclonal, 1:250) and p50 (mouse monoclonal, 1:250), IκBα (mouse monoclonal, 1:500), TNF α (goat polyclonal, 1:80), IL-1β (rabbit polyclonal 1:100), IL-6 (goat polyclonal, 1:1000) and COX-2 (goat polyclonal, 1:100) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA; Synapsin 1 (rabbit polyclonal, 1:500) and Synaptophysin (rabbit polyclonal, 1:2000) were purchased from Novus Biologicals, USA; PSD95 (rabbit polyclonal 1:500), Cleaved Caspase 3 (rabbit polyclonal 1:500) was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology; Cleaved PARP-1 (rabbit polyclonal, 1:2000) was purchased from Bioworld Technology; IDO-1 (rabbit polyclonal, 1:250) was purchased from antibodies-online (ABIN1714836). The optical density of the bands was measured and quantified by Image J (National Institute of Health, MD, USA). The data were expressed as percentage of the control.
