Table 3.
Levels of inflammatory factors.
Group | TNF-α (fmol/mL) | IL-6 (mg/L) | MPO (U/mg) |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 33.7 ± 3.1 | 65.1 ± 4.1 | 3.5 ± 1.0 |
Mimics | 95.9 ± 6.7∗ | 134.7 ± 5.2∗ | 14.6 ± 1.1∗ |
Inhibitors | 42.0 ± 5.8# | 75.1 ± 4.0# | 4.6 ± 1.8# |
Note: the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and MPO are evidently elevated in the mimics group, but their levels are obviously lowered in the inhibitors group. ∗p < 0.05 vs. the control group, #p < 0.05 vs. the mimics group.
