Comparison protein expression levels of high immunomodulatory effect (HIE) group and low immunomodulatory effect (LIE) group after the β-glucan diet.

Protein	HIE	LIE
COX-2/β-actin	0.30 ± 0.04	0.12 ± 0.01 *
IL-6/β-actin	0.41 ± 0.07	0.39 ± 0.09
IL-10/β-actin	0.17 ± 0.03	0.26 ± 0.02
iNOS/β-actin	0.57 ± 0.04	0.34 ± 0.07 *
TNF-α/β-actin	0.17 ± 0.02	0.16 ± 0.02

HIE, high immunomodulatory effect group (three mice with the highest total scores); LIE, low immunomodulatory effect group (three mice with the lowest total scores); COX-2, cyclooxygenase-2; IL-6, interleukin-6; IL-10, interleukin-10; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α. Data expressed as mean ± standard error. * Statistically significant, compared two groups by paired t-test (p < 0.05).
