	Control	HdE	LPS	LPS and HdE	E. coli	E. coli and HdE
KC	44±5	3±4	338±119*	450±188*	nt	nt

Data is pg/mL mean ± SD measured 4 h after treatment; n = 6; HdE at 100 μg/mL; LPS at 1 μg/mL; E. coli strain DH5-α at 10⁶ colony forming units; nt, not tested;

^*p < 0.05 compared to control.

HdE, Hymenolepis diminuta extract; IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
