Figure 4

Effects of baicalin on cytokine changes in blood serum. (a) IL-1β; (b) IL-6; (c) IL-10; (d) IL-17; (e) TNF-α; (f) MMP-2; (g) MMP-9; (h) TIMP-1. The data are shown as the mean ± the standard deviation (SD). p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 indicate a statistically significant difference compared to the model group; p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 indicate a statistically significant difference in model group compared with control group. IL, interleukin; TNF, tumour necrosis factor; MMP, metalloproteinase; TIMP, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase.
