Figure 3From: Green tea polyphenol extract attenuates lung injury in experimental model of carrageenan-induced pleurisy in miceEffect of GTE on TNF-Ī±, level. Pleural injection of carrageenan caused by 4 h an increase in the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Ī±). GTE significantly inhibited TNF-Ī±. Data are means Ā± SEM of 10 mice for each group. *P < 0.01 vs. sham. Ā°P < 0.01 vs. carrageenan.Back to article page
