Figure 3

Levels of IL1α, IL1β, IL6, IL10 and TNFα in (a) ipsilateral and (b) contralateral joints of normal rats and those injected with low (150 μg; n = 8) and high (500 μg; n = 3) dose FCA 14 days earlier. There were negligible levels of any of the mediators measure in naïve joints (n = 10), but a significant increase in the expression of IL1α, IL1β, IL6 and TNFα was seen in all ipsilateral inflamed joints and in contralateral joints of rats injected with the high dose FCA (P < 0.05, Two-way ANOVA; compared with normal joints); statistical significance represented by *.
