Fig 3. Determination of plasma and aorta inflammatory cytokine levels in different groups.

Fig 3

Plasma and aorta tissues of mice from three groups were respectively collected for the determination of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (A, E); interleukin (IL)-6 (B, F); IL-1β (C, G) and IL-10 (D, H) concentrations using a flow cytometric bead array (CBA) kit. (I) Plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in diverse groups were determined using a Limulus amebocyte lysate kit. #(CON vs. AS): #p<0.05, ##p< 0.01, ###p< 0.001. *(AS vs. AS+MET): *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001. NS, no significant difference.
