Figure 5

Quantitative estimation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma of rabbits treated with LPS (450 ng/kg). (A) TNFα. (B) IL-1α. (C) IL-1β. (D) IL-8. (*p = 0.03). (E) MIP-1β. Control / LPS groups (**p = 0.002), LPS / LPS + VSAK groups (*p = 0.027). (F) Leptin. (G) MMP-9. (H) NCAM-1. Control, VSAK; LPS and VSAK + LPS groups, n = 3. Differences assessed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests.
