Figure 4From: Theophylline is able to partially revert cachexia in tumour-bearing ratsEffect of theophylline (50 mg/kg bw) on circulating TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations in rats bearing the Yoshida AH-130 ascites hepatoma. Results are mean ± SEM. The plasmatic concentrations of TNF-α and IL-10 are expressed as pg/ml of plasma. C = non-tumour-bearing rats, T = tumour-bearing rats, T + TPH = tumour-bearing rats treated with theophylline. Values that are significantly different by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) are indicated by: ## p < 0.01 (tumour effect); *** p < 0.001 (treatment effect).Back to article page
