a, b mRNA of transcription factors (MyD88 and NF-κB) and ch cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNFα) expression (in relative units) were determined in esophageal biopsies from patients before and after six-food elimination diet (SFED) treatment, and healthy controls. Paired t-test compared EoE patients before and after SFED, while EoE patients (both before and after SFED) were compared with the control population by non-paired t-test. Horizontal bars indicate mean values (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001)
