The liver was harvested 24 h after surgery and (A) cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10) production were determined by ELISA. (B) MyD88, p-NF-κB and p-STAT3 protein levels in the liver from septic mice treated or not treated with BBG or BBG + ATL146e. Data are presented as mean ± SEM from three independent experiments (n = 6) analyzed by one-way ANOVA, Turkey tests. Statistically significant differences between Sham and CLP, and between CLP groups (CLP vehicle vs. CLP BBG, CLP vehicle vs. CLP BBG + ATL146e) are indicated by asterisks (*, p <0.05; **, p <0.01; ***, p <0.001) and by the number sign (#, p <0.05), respectively.
