CWP decreases the plasma levels of ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines and restores the levels of IL-2 and IL-7 in adult male offspring. The plasma cytokine profile and ROS levels were measured in freshly isolated blood from offspring (aged three months) of control (gray bars), diabetic (black bars) and diabetic mothers administered CWP (hatched bars), and the data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P <0.05 for diabetic vs. control; ^#P <0.05 for diabetic + CWP vs. control; ⁺P <0.05 for diabetic + CWP vs. diabetic (ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-test).
