Effects of AE (30 mg/kg) on the TNF-a, IL-6, COX-2, and iNOS mRNA expression after chronic ethanol consumption.
TNF-a, IL-6, COX-2, and iNOS mRNA expression in the liver were measured by RT-PCR analysis. The results are presented as mean
± S.E.M of 8–10 animals per group. ⁄, ⁄⁄Denote significant differences (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) compared with the control group;
+, ++Denote significant differences (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) compared with the ethanol group.
