Real-time quantitative PCR analysis. (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-1β, (C) NF- κβ, and (D) COX-2 genes expression in rats kidney tissue. Results are reported as mean ± SE of seven rats. Mean values not sharing common letters (a, b,c, d) were significantly different, P < 0.05. Variations are compared as follows: NSAE, NS-Ag-NC, and TAA groups are opposed to the control group while NSAE + TAA and NS-Ag-NC + TAA groups are compared to the TAA group
