Treatment with ERCs diminished ALI by regulating cytokine profiles. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α,and IL-10 in sera and liver tissues were detected by ELISA at indicated time points after CCl4 challenge. Data indicated that ERC treatment significantly decreased the levels of a IL-1β, b IL-6,and c TNF-α, while increased the level of d IL-10 in CCl4-induced ALI. Values represent mean ± SEM. (## p < 0.01 versus the normal control group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus the untreated group, n = 6)
