Fig. 1. Changes in cytokine levels in the blood serum of rats with induced EAE in comparison with the controls 1 day after the injection. Cytokine levels in the controls were taken as 100 %. Significant differences are marked with arrows
Fig. 2. Changes in cytokine levels in the blood serum of rats with induced EAE in comparison with the controls 5 days after the injection. Cytokine levels in the controls were taken as 100 %. Significant differences are marked with arrows
Fig. 3. Changes in cytokine levels in the blood serum of rats with induced EAE in comparison with the controls 7 days after the injection. Cytokine levels in the controls were taken as 100 %. Significant differences are marked with arrows
Table 1. Significance of differences between the main and the control groups of animals calculated by using the Mann–Whitney test with Yates's correction for continuity. Hypothesis tested: the absence of significant differences between the samples. The result is presented as Fisher’s p with three significance thresholds: p > 0.05 — the difference is insignificant; 0.01 < р ≤ 0.05 — the first significance threshold; 0.001 < р ≤ 0.01 — the second significance threshold; р ≤ 0.001 — the third significance threshold
