Effect of Momordica charantia water extract on inflammatory cytokines in the livers of restraint-stressed mice.

Groups	NO (μmol/g prot)	iNOS (U^#/mg prot)
NC	0.25 ± 0.10^d	1.92 ± 0.16^c
Model	0.76 ± 0.17^a	4.20 ± 0.58^a
VC	0.42 ± 0.09^bc	3.03 ± 0.82^b
MWEL	0.32 ± 0.08^cd	1.69 ± 0.37^c
MWEM	0.51 ± 0.04^bc	1.39 ± 0.23^c
MWEH	0.53 ± 0.05^b	1.72 ± 0.56^c

U^# = every mg of tissue protein that produces 1 nmol of NO every minute. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 10).

The values within each column marked by different letters are significantly different (p < .05).
