Mean concentrations of cytokines and adhesive molecules in blood serum in SHR treated with egg-lecithin (SHR-SL; n = 15), SHR not treated control group (SHR-C; n = 15), WKY treated with egg-lecithin (WKY-SL; n = 11) and WKY not treated control group (WKY-C; n = 11). *P < 0.05, compared to the control group (SL vs. C).
