curcumin pretreatment reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory markers/ cytokines but increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines. a Curcumin pretreatment inhibited the TNBS-induced increase of MPO activity. b The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ were assessed by ELISA. Curcumin pretreatment inhibited the levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ. c The levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-13, TGF-β and IL-10 were assessed by ELISA. Curcumin pretreatment elevated the levels of IL-13, TGF-β and IL-10. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
