Protein expression levels of inflammatory cytokine and receptor genes determined by Western blotting. IL-6 expression levels are significantly higher in the FG group than in the ST group, and they are significantly lower in the ELE and BLE groups than in the FG group ((b), (e)). TNF-α ((a), (c)), TNFR1 (d), and MCP-1 (f) expression levels did not show significant differences among the experimental groups, with the exception of significantly higher TNF-α expression in the BLE group than in the ST group. ^aSignificantly different from the ST group (). ^bSignificantly different from the FG group ().
