Effects of curcumin on cytokine levels in lung homogenates from mice infected with IAV. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were analyzed in the lung homogenates of mice on day 5 post infection, by ELISA (n = 10). (A) The level of TNF-alpha in lung homogenates. (B) The level of INF-gamma in lung homogenates. (C) The level of IL-6 in lung homogenates. Data represent the mean ± SD of 3 separate experiments. ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 relative to normal controls. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001 relative to placebo controls
