  1. The data are presented as the median with ranges in parentheses. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare nonparametric variables and pairwise differences. A value of P < 0.05 was considered a significant difference. The three intervention groups (Celecoxib, Aprepitant, and AIA) represent NBC rats that received each drug. Clb: Celecoxib; Apt: Aprepitant; AIA: Anti-ICAM-1 antibody Table 2. Cytokines and Receptors.
