Notes. All results are reported as mean ± SEM. For IL-6, three-way ANOVA indicated significant strain differences for all regions with p < 0.001–0.006; aindicates sex difference of SFvF1 (STR: t = 2.75, p = 0.012; HC: t = 3.16, p = 0.004) and females of each strain (STR: t = 4.73, p = 0.001; HC: t = 5.12, p = 0.001); bindicates strain difference (HC for H2O, t = 3.53, p = 0.002; HgCl2, t = 2.78, p = 0.01). For IL-4, three-way ANOVA indicated significant strain differences for FCX, STR, HC, and CB (p = 0.003–0.024); cindicates that males of each strain differ (t = 2.48, p = 0.018).
