^*P =.0195;

^**P =.0547. Units for all statistics in table are arbitrary units of optical density (OD).

CI = confidence interval (for the true mean).

^aDifference* = (After TNF-α - Before TNF-α);

^bDifference** = (Post-intervention - Pre-intervention);

^cDifference* = (Postintervention - Pre-intervention).
