Quantification of IL-6, TNF-α, ROS and apoptosis rate in Huh-7 cells. Quantification of IL-6 (A), TNF-α (B), ROS (C) and apoptosis (D) in each group: blank, model, 75 μg/mL LH(L-LPSDS), 150 μg/mL LH(M-LPSDS), 300 μg/mL LH, 600 μg/mL LH(H-LPSDS), BS, BDS, and LMS. LH, Lianhuaqingwen; BS, blank serum; BDS, blank deproteinized serum; LMS, Lianhuaqingwen medicated serum; H-/M-/L-LPSDS, High-/Middle-/Low-dose Lianhuaqingwen post-dose supernatant of deproteinized serum. Pound sign or asterisk denotes a significant difference between two groups in the repeated-measures ANOVA (####P＜0.0001, vs. the blank group; ★★★★P＜0.0001, vs. the model group; ★★P＜0.01, vs. the model group; ★P＜0.05, vs. the model group). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
