Group	TNF-α (pg/mL Protein)	IL-2 (pg/mL Protein)
Control	136.64 * ± 8.37	67.63 * ± 8.64
Vehicle	211.79 ± 11.69	138.33 ± 8.87
CEAM	150.65 *,# ± 8.08	79.87 * ± 9.84
EFAM	134.62 * ± 9.08	68.07 * ± 6.22
BFAM	151.16 *,# ± 7.47	80.02 *,# ± 4.12

Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 6). * or #: Significantly different from the vehicle or ethyl acetate fraction group at p < 0.05 using One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey–Kramer as a post hoc test.
