Treatment with saturated hydrogen inhibits the production of inflammatory factors in serum and kidney tissue. a) Expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-8 in serum were assayed using ELISA. b) Expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-8 in kidney tissue were assayed using ELISA. **p < 0.01 vs. Control; ##p < 0.01 and #p < 0.05 vs. CCl4.
Abbreviations: TNF, tumor necrosis factor; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; H2, saturated hydrogen; CCl4, carbon tetrachloride.
