Effects of SOE pretreatment on sera cytokine production in LPS-challenged micea.
| Group | IL-6 (ng/mL) | TNF-α (ng/mL) |
|---|---|---|
| At 2 h after LPS challenge | ||
| Control | 318 ± 102 | 2.99 ± 1.52 |
| LSOE | 257 ± 89.5 | 4.32 ± 2.62 |
| HSOE | 205 ± 102* | 3.51 ± 2.04 |
| PDTC | 202 ± 117* | 1.47 ± 0.32* |
| At 9 h after LPS challenge | ||
| Control | 151 ± 125 | 0.63 ± 0.50 |
| LSOE | 139 ± 88.7 | 0.56 ± 0.26# |
| HSOE | 81.3 ± 46.5* | 0.52 ± 0.35# |
| PDTC | 27.9 ± 15.4** | 0.25 ± 0.12* |
aSera at 2 h and 9 h after LPS injection were collected for cytokines assay. The cytokine production in serum was assayed by ELISA kits. Values are means ± SD. #0.05 < P < 0.1, *P < 0.05, or **P < 0.01, significantly different from the control group analyzed by Student's t-test.
