Antibacterial and Immunoregulatory Effects of Metformin against <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infection in Rat Model

<div>The correlation between the number of Treg cells and the cytokine levels assessed. Linear regression analysis of Treg cells with the level of cytokines including (a) IL-1<i>β</i>, (b) IL-17A, (c) IL-6, (d) IL-8, (e) TGF-<i>β</i>, and (f) IL-10 was performed. <span class="nowrap"><svg height="8.8423pt" id="M63" style="vertical-align:-0.2064009pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -8.6359 32.2343 8.8423" width="32.2343pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><path d="M822 650H589L583 622C660 617 677 607 674 561C672 534 664 481 647 390L600 137H596L273 650H126L120 622C176 620 194 615 207 594C221 571 225 557 214 504L161 257C141 166 129 112 121 85C108 42 83 30 29 28L23 0H260L266 28C193 33 173 42 176 89C178 122 186 172 202 255L256 527H259L583 -8H612L690 390C708 481 720 535 728 558C744 603 756 619 816 622L822 650Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,14.542,0)"><path d="M535 323V373H52V323H535ZM535 138V188H52V138H535Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,25.805,0)"><path d="M137 343C167 482 260 545 321 574C357 591 397 603 429 609L423 641C382 634 335 622 295 608C189 570 37 457 37 238C37 84 125 -12 242 -12C362 -12 447 89 447 209C447 311 374 393 267 393C247 393 226 386 204 376L137 343ZM227 337C318 337 361 256 361 173C361 105 336 22 258 22C176 22 126 120 126 240C126 266 127 291 132 310C155 323 189 337 227 337Z"></path></g></svg>.</span></div>
