In rats with transient brain ischemia-reperfusion, Semax statistically significantly decreased Il1a mRNA, offsetting the rise induced by ischemia-reperfusion.
In plain wordsIn rats with brain ischemia, Semax lowered the activity of the inflammation gene Il1a that ischemia had raised.

exposure to Semax leads to a statistically significant decrease in the Il1a, Il1b, Il6, Ccl3, and Cxcl2 mRNAs
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Our earlier RNA-Seq analysis of the transcriptome in an ischemic model of transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery showed an increase in the mRNA levels of many proinflammatory genes, and the suppression of their induction by Semax.
