Fig. 7. Effects of EE on NFκB, IL-6 and TNF-α protein expressions in liver tissue of mice: (a) western blot analysis of NFκB, IL-6 and TNF-α protein expressions; (b) quantitative analysis of NFκB, IL-6 and TNF-α protein expressions. Normal: normal group; Model: diabetic model group; EE-L: 150 mg kg^–1 EE-treated diabetic group; EE-M: 250 mg kg^–1 EE-treated diabetic group; EE-H: 350 mg kg^–1 EE-treated diabetic group. **P < 0.01 vs. normal group; ^#P < 0.05 and ^##P < 0.01 vs. model group.
