The IL-6 levels in serum (b) were reduced in the FS and SNT treatment groups. The TNF-α levels (c) of the treatment groups were reduced. FS and the SNT-HD groups showed significant decreases in comparison to the model group (𝑃<0.05). The IL-1β levels in serum (d) were reduced in the FS and SNT groups (𝑃<0.01 and 𝑃<0.05 versus model group, resp.). The IL-1β levels in myocardial tissue (e) were reduced in the FS and SNT groups and significantly in the FS and SNT-HD groups (𝑃<0.05 and 𝑃<0.01, resp.) compared to model group.
