a The fold changes in IL-6 expression were estimated by qRT-PCR. b The fold changes in TNF-α expression were estimated by qRT-PCR. n = 6. c The level of IL-6 protein was measured by Western blotting. d The level of TNF-α protein was measured by Western blotting. *P < 0.05 versus the control group. #P < 0.05 versus the LPS-treated group. n = 5.
