Figure 4.
The effect of PC on the expression of liver inflammatory factors. Values are mean ± SD (n = 6). (A) TNF-α mRNA levels; (B) IL-6 mRNA levels; (C) IL-8 mRNA levels; (D) MCP-1 mRNA levels. The levels of mRNA were shown as the relative expression to the GAPDH. ap < 0.01 vs. the control group, bp < 0.05, cp < 0.01 vs. the model group, dp < 0.05, ep < 0.01 vs. PC-L group. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; IL-6, interleukin 6; IL-8, interleukin 8; MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1.
