CG: control group; VG: vehicle group; AHG: aluminum hydroxide group; CCL2: monocyte chemotactic protein-1; IL-6: interleukin 6; IL-10: interleukin 10. The letter (a) represents a significant difference between groups when compared to CG. The letter (b) represents a significant difference between groups when compared to VG. Data were expressed as deviation and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s posttest, 6 animals per group.
