Confirming the Effects of Qinghuayin against Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and a Preliminary Observation of the Involved Inflammatory Signaling Pathways: An In Vivo Study

Figure 2

Serum TNF-α levels of the different groups of rats. The serum TNF-α level of the rats in the model group (M) was significantly higher than that of those in the other groups. Treatment with low-dose QHY (M + LT) significantly reduced the increase in serum TNF-α levels (p < 0.05); in contrast, high-dose treatment of QHY (M + HT) demonstrated superior efficacy (p < 0.01). All the values represent mean ± standard deviation (SD); means P < 0.05, means P < 0.01, and means P < 0.001. HT = high-dose QHY treatment, LT = low-dose QHY treatment, and M = model mice without treatment.
