Figure 3.Effect of GE on sepsis-induced inflammatory response and oxidative injury. The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines in blood including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in blood were measured using ELISA kit (A–E). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using their corresponding test kits (F–I). ***p<0.001 vs the sham group. #, ##, ###p<0.05, 0.01, 0.001 CLP group.
