Table 2. The effect of stress and resveratrol treatment on cytokine expression in the DR.

RSV treatment reduced cytokine expression in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, a history of social defeat stress reduced cytokine expression of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10 (ƒ p<0.05 vs. 0 mg/kg Con + AC; ** p<0.01, **** p<0.0001 vs 0 mg/kg Con). Data are expressed as percent of vehicle (0 mg/kg) control (average ± SEM) and sample size (n) for control (Con), passive coping (PC), and active coping (AC) groups.
