Levels of cytokines in the serum. Serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels of TNBS-induced rats were dramatically decreased by drug treatment, and mesalazine + allicin group was the lowest (a and b); sulfasalazine and mesalazine + allicin rose serum IL-4 level; however, these drugs did not alter serum IL-10 level (c and d). Data were presented as mean ± SD. * P < 0.05 versus TNBS group.
