The levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α in serum and kidney were determined and detected after 4-week administration of Met (0.12 g/kg) or PHC (0.08, 0.4, and 2.0 g/kg). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA. # P < 0.05 and ## P < 0.01 versus normal controls, P < 0.05 and ∗∗ P < 0.01 versus model group.
