Gene C (n=4) HF (n=7) HF + NAC (n=8)
TNF-α (fold of control) 1.0 ± 0.40a 13.3 ± 0.98b 4.2 ± 1.20a
IL-1β (fold of control) 1.0 ± 0.17 2.6 ± 0.76 2.5 ± 0.26
IL-12 (fold of control) 1.0 ± 0.29 1.0 ± 0.24 0.7 ± 0.32

Values are means ± SEM, relative expression of target gene mRNA normalized to cyclophilin A mRNA as a housekeeping gene using real time RT-PCR relative to mean value for C group = 1.0. Means in a row without a common letter differ, p≤0.05.
