Figure 7

The concentration of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, Arg-1, TGF-β1, IL-4, and IL-10 in serum of mice. All mice of each group were sacrificed at 24 hr after AAO. The serum was collected and detected the concentration of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors by ELISA assay. (a–h) Quantification of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, Arg-1, TGF-β1, IL-4, and IL-10 levels in serum samples. Mean ± SD, n = 7. , , , and . ELISA, enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, interleukin-6; Arg-1, Arginase-1; TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-beta 1; IL-4, interleukin-4; and IL-10, interleukin-10.
