Cytokine production in (A) HaCaT and (B) HSF cells stimulated with base formulations and those containing encapsulated probiotic microspheres for 24 h. IL-6 and IL-8 cytokine levels in cell media after stimulation with 0.5% of the two formulations. Graphs represent data from three independent experiments, with triplicates in each. Statistical significance was estimated using GraphPad Prism using built-in ANOVA test (*: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001; ****: p < 0.0001).
