a–dThe same letters indicate no significant differences, whereas different letters show significant differences between the groups at the P<0.05 level. The following tables and figures are the same. IL-6: interleukin 6; IL-12: interleukin 12; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; IFN-γ: interferon gamma
