Fig. 6. Effect of HPH on pro-inflammatory and Th2 cytokine levels in DNCB-sensitized BALB/c mice. After autopsy, blood samples were collected from individual mice from each group. (A–C) Serum pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL- 1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) levels were analyzed using ELISA. (D–F) Serum Th2 cytokine (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) levels were quantified using ELISA. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 compared with the control group. ^###p < 0.001, ^####p < 0.0001 compared with the normal group. N, normal group; C, DNCB-induced control group; HPH200, HPH 200 μl-administered group; HPH400, HPH 400 μl-administered group; DEX, dexamethasone 10 mg/kgadministered group.
