Figure 5

Effects of DWYG on cytokine levels in 2-AAF/PH rats. Normal Wistar rats (normal group) and 2-AAF/PH rats were orally administered vehicle (distilled water, vehicle group) or DWYG (DWYG group, 10 mg/kg). Serum was obtained when the rats were sacrificed, and cytokine levels were detected by Bio-plex suspension array system. (a–h) Serum levels of IL-1 (a), IL-6 (b), GRO/KC (c), IFN-γ (d), RANTES (e), TNF-α (f), VEGF (g), and TGF-β1 (h). Data shown are means ± SD of 16 rats in each group. versus vehicle group.
