Effects of alkaloid-loaded microspheres on production of PGE₂, TNF-α, and IL-1β in ethanol-induced gastric mucosa lesions.

Notes: (A) PGE₂, (B) TNF-α, and (C) IL-1β in gastric mucosal homogenates were measured by ELISA. Data were expressed with mean ± SE from three independent experiments. *P<0.05 (n=4) compared to the normal control group, ^**P<0.05 (n=4) compared to the model group.

Abbreviations: PEG₂, Prostaglandin E₂; OME, omeprazole; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin 1β; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; SE, standard error.
