Effects of hFGF-21 on inflammatory cytokine expression levels in liver cells isolated form clinical patients. Plasma concentration levels of (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, (C) IL-1β and (D) IL-8 in PhbA and healthy volunteers. (E) mRNA and (F) protein expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in cells treated with hFGF-21 isolated from patients and the PPhbA control group. **P<0.01. hFGF-21, human fibroblast growth factor-21; PhbA, patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis combined with adrenal insufficiency; PPhbA, patients who recovered form hepatitis B cirrhosis combined with adrenal insufficiency; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; IL, interleukin.
