Ameliorative effects of MOLE on serum antioxidants levels in MTX-injected mice.

	Control	MOLE	MTX	MOLE + MTX
IL-1β (pg/ml)	162 ± 6.8	132.3 ± 2.3∗	260 ± 28.2#	163.3 ± 14.3$
IL-6 (pg/ml)	66.3 ± 8.8	45.3 ± 1.2∗	208 ± 31.3#	92 ± 3.08$

Values are mean ± standard error (SEM) for 7 different mice per each treatment. Values are statistically significant at ^∗P < 0.05 vs control; ^#P < 0.05 vs control and MOLE groups and ^$P < 0.05 vs MTX group. SOD: superoxide dismutase; MDA: malondialdehyde; GSH: reduced glutathione; MOLE: Moringa oleifera leaf extract; MTX: methotrexate.
