ELISA assay of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 in the rat hind paw tissues following intraplantar hind paw injection of CAR: effects of administered PEA-OXA. An increase of TNF-α (A), IL-1β (B), IL-6 (C), levels were found in CAR+vehicle rats after CAR induction. CAR-injected rats and treated with ultramicronized PEA (10 mg/kg) exhibited a reduction of TNF-α (A), IL-1β (B), IL-6 (C) levels. PEA-OXA treatment (10 mg/kg) reduced markedly cytokine expression (A–C). Values are shown as mean ± SD of 10 animals for each group. ∗∗∗P < 0.001 vs. sham; ###P < 0.001 vs. CAR; ##P < 0.01 vs. CAR; ∘∘P < 0.01 vs. PEA.
