Figure 5 Effects of HAE on heart tissue levels of IL-6 (A), IL-8 (B), IL-1β (C), and TNF-α (D) in doxorubicin-induced chronic heart failure in rats. Results are expressed as the means±SD (n=8). # P<0.01 versus the control group; * P<0.05 and ** P<0.01 versus the CHF group. CHF – chronic heart failure; HAE – alcohol extract of hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida) fruit; IL – interleukin; TNF-α – tumor necrosis factor α.
