Fig 2. Effect of flaxseed treatment (Fx, 15% w/w) on the renal concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in control (Con) rats, and rats administered adenine (Ade, 150 mg/Kg/day), streptozotocin (Stz, 55 mg/Kg) or a combination of these.

Each vertical column with bar represents the mean ± SEM (n = 6). Differences between the groups were assessed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test, where P < 0.05. ^adenotes significance of different groups vs. control group. ^bdenotes significance of different adenine treated groups vs. adenine alone group. ^cdenotes significance of different streptozotocin groups vs. streptozotocin alone group. ^ddenotes significance of the adenine + streptozotocin + flaxseed treated group vs. adenine + streptozotocin group.
