Inflammatory mediators of liver cirrhosis (LC) and sarcopenia. (A, B) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the serum levels of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). (A) Serum LPS levels were compared between the control (n=6) and LC (n=4) groups. Serum IL-6 levels were compared between the control (n=4) and LC (n=4) groups. (B) Serum TNF-α levels were compared between the control (n=4) and LC (n=4) groups. (C-E) Correlation analyses were performed between serum TNF level and myostatin expression (C, n=8), muscle weight (D, n=8), and myofiber diameter (E, n=8). n.s, not significant. *P<0.05.
