From: Ethanolic extract of propolis inhibits atherosclerosis in ApoE-knockout mice
Effects of EEP on serum ET, NO, iNOS, VEGF, IL-6 and IL-17 in ApoE−/−mice fed a high-fat diet. Serum concentrations of ET, NO, iNOS, VEGF, IL-6 and IL-17 after a 14-week supplementation period with EEP (160 mg/kg/d) in ApoE−/− mice on a high-fat diet. A, ET (ng/L); B, NO (umol/L); C, iNOS (U/mL); D, VEGF (ng/L); E, IL-6 (pg/ml); F, IL-17 (pg/ml). Data are presented as means ± SD (n=8 per group). *P<0.05; **P<0.01 versus model group. EEP, ethanolic extract of propolis; ET, endothelin; NO, nitric oxide; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; IL-6, interleukin-6; IL-17, interleukin-17.
