Figure Lengend Snippet: Tongue tissue TLR4 and proinflammatory cytokines. A TLR4 (ng/mg protein), ( B ) TNF-α (ng/L/g), ( C ) IL-6 (ng/L/g) (mean ± SEM). DOX increased TLR4/TNF-α/IL-6; EDO reduced these levels. Statistics: TLR4/IL-6—ANOVA ± Tukey; TNF-α—Kruskal–Wallis ± Mann–Whitney. Significance: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; ns, not significant (adjusted p ≥ 0.05)
Article Snippet: TLR4 protein levels in tongue tissue were quantified using a rat TLR4 ELISA kit (Cusabio, Cat. No: CSB-E15822r).
