Cytokine concentrations. (a) TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 mRNA levels in the uterine tissue. (b) TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 protein levels in the uterine tissue. The data represent the contents of 1 mL supernatant of uterine homogenate and are presented as the means ± SD (). The CG refers to the control group, S. aureus refers to the mice with S. aureus-induced endometritis that were not given any drug treatment, 2, 4, and 8 refer to the IFN-τ (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg) administration groups, and DEX refers to the dexamethasone treatment group. , significantly different from the CG; ^#, significantly different from the S. aureus group.
