Fold-changes of mRNA markers for inflammation-, excitation-, and antioxidant-related proteins of NT, 100 mM MSG, 100 mM NaCl, and 100 ng/mL LPS slices at 6 h. a Fold-change of mRNAs for inflammatory cytokines of NT, MSG, and LPS slices (n = 12 NT; n = 3 MSG; n = 6 LPS; mean ± SEM). b Fold-change of mRNAs for excitation-related proteins of NT, MSG, and NaCl slices (n = 6–12 NT; n = 3 MSG and NaCl; mean ± SEM). c Fold-change of mRNAs for antioxidant enzymes of NT, MSG, NaCl, and LPS slices (n = 6 NT; n = 3 MSG, NaCl, and LPS; mean ± SEM). ns: not significant
