Figure 8.
Effect of cannabidiol on ethanol-induced liver inflammation. Hepatic mRNA levels of MIP-2 (A), MCP-1 (B), TNF-α (C), IL-1β (D), and adhesion molecules E selectin (E) were analyzed by real-time PCR. The results are expressed as fold increases relative to the pair-fed groups. Values represent means ± SEM (n = 5–7). *P < 0.05 vs. Pair-fed group, # P < 0.05 vs. EtOH group determined by One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. (F) Quantitative ELISA of cytokine TNF-α (F) and E selectin (G) in liver tissue lysates. Values represent means ± SEM (n = 4/group). *P < 0.05 vs. Pair-fed group, # P < 0.05 vs. EtOH group determined by One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test.
