2.5.2. Inflammatory Markers

Plasma levels for IL-10, IL-6, and TNFα were measured using an MSD Inflammatory Panel Kit from Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC, Rockville, MD, USA) (10-plex Proinflammatory Panel 1 (mouse) kit (cat # C4048-1) and analyzed by MSD DISCOVERY WORKBENCH® analysis software (Meso Scale Diagnostics, Rockville, MD, USA). While the panel measures more than these four markers, the others were out of range based on the manual and literature searches. Therefore, we did not include them in our analyses.
