Group	Plasma TNF-α (pg/mL)	Kidney TNF-α (pg/mg-protein)
Control	43.78±3.81^b	413.26±17.78^c
EG	75.54±9.34^a	469.28±28.96^a
RJ	49.96±2.65^b	343.16±24.28^b
RJ+ EG	59.07±5.79^c	361.68±15.18^b
EG+RJ	81.27±5.24^a	474.14±15.87^a

a, b, c, d: Differences between the groups that are coded with different letters in the same column are significant (p<0.05). EG represents the group administered with ethylene glycol; Royal Jelly represents the group solely administered with Royal Jelly; RJ+EG represents the group simultaneously administered with Royal Jelly and ethylene glycol; EG+RJ represents the group administered with Royal Jelly after inducing urolithiasis with ethylene glycol.
