Effect of AaEE on cytokines in DSS-induced colitis. TNF-α (a), IFN-γ (b), IL-1β (c), and IL-10 (d) concentration in the plasma of mice from all groups. AaEE reduces the systemic levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β and there were no significant differences on the levels reported for the IL-10 between the DSS group and the group of AaEE. All results are expressed as the mean ± SD. versus control; versus DSS group.
