Effect of fusion protein on inflammatory cytokines in serum, and expression of COX-2. (A) Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α); (B) Interleukin 6 (IL-6); (C) western blot of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2); and (D) quantitative analysis of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). Results were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean of the values. The number of animals per group was 8 for determination of TNF-α, IL-6 content, and 6 for COX-2. NORM-C – normal control; DIAB-C – diabetes control; DIAB-T – diabetes treated with the fusion protein. ** P<0.01 versus NORM-C; # P<0.05, ## P<0.01 versus DIAB-C.
