Figure 2.

Changes in the relative gene expressions of all the monitored pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers (TNFα, IL-1β, IFNγ, IL-6r, IL-4, IL-13, Stat6, and IL-10) in the spleen samples. All cytokines were measured in all experimental groups of rats (AC, HA, HAC, and HC) on Day 31. All gene expressions are relative to the UBC housekeeping gene. Differences in the expressions of the genes among individual experimental groups were assessed by non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA with multiple comparisons. ns—not significant; *—p < 0.05; **—p < 0.01.
