The effect of STE, Sm, and Sb on mRNA expression of IL-4 of rats given DEN/AAF/CCl4. , , and were significant as compared with normal control rats, and #, ##, and ### were significant as compared with the DEN/AAF/CCl4-administered group. STE+DEN/AAF/CCl4, Sm+DEN/AAF/CCl4, and Sb+DEN/AAF/CCl4: groups orally treated with STE, Sm, and Sb, respectively, from the 1st week of DEN injection; DEN/AAF/CCl4+STE, DEN/AAF/CCl4+Sm, and DEN/AAF/CCl4+Sb: groups orally treated with STE, Sm, and Sb, respectively, from the 16th week of DEN injection.
