β-estradiol supplement attenuates hypertension induced cytokine production in vivo. Concentrations of (A) IL-6 and (B) TNF-α in serum of WKY, SHR and SHR received β-estradiol treatment. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of three independent experiments (n=6/group). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. the WKY group and SHR group without any drug treatment. #P<0.05, SHR group without any drug treatment vs. SHR group given β-estradiol. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL, interleukin; WKY, Wistar-Kyoto rats; SHR, spontaneously hypertensive rat; SHR + E, SHR + β-estradiol.
