Effect of CACF on serum TNF levels in rats. Different treatment groups were pretreated i.p with 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg of (LPS + CACF), 6 mg/kg of dexamethasone (LPS + DEX) or with phosphate buffer saline (LPS + PBS), and DMSO (Untreated) for 30 mins. All the treatment groups were then either injected with 1 mg/kg of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or with PBS for 90 mins. Blood was withdrawn, and serum TNF was quantified using ELISA. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-analysis was used to calculate the statistical significance among the groups when compared to LPS + PBS. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05.
