From: Cytokine levels contribute to the pathogenesis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma via STAT3 activation

Figure 2

mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17a, IFNγ and IFNλ3 were elevated in serum of patients with MHE.

The fold increases of mRNA concentrations of IL-1β (A), IL-6 (B), IL-17a (C), IFNγ (D) and IFNλ3 (E) were determined in all patients. Asterisks denote p<0.05 in statistics. MHE: minimal hepatic encephalopathy; CHE: clinical hepatic encephalopathy.
