Fig. 3From: Faecalibacterium prausnitzii alleviates inflammatory arthritis and regulates IL-17 production, short chain fatty acids, and the intestinal microbial flora in experimental mouse model for rheumatoid arthritisAdministration of F. prausnitzii leads to a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in mouse joint tissues. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17, which are pro-inflammatory cytokines, were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The data are means ± standard deviation (n = 5). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01Back to article page
