The serum levels (pg/mL) of TNF-α and TGF-β1 in different groups by ELISA on day 28. All data are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 5). Results are statistically significance at p < 0.05. *p < 0.05 vs control; ^∆p < 0.05 vs BLM; ^#p < 0.05 vs BLM + DEX; ^■p < 0.05 vs BLM + LD-SML, by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. LD low-dose, MD medium-dose, HD high-dose
