ILA inhibits TNF-α induced inflammation in intestinal epithelial cells. mRNA expression in IEC exposed to media alone, TNF-α or TNF-α in the presence of different concentrations of ILA for 1 h. a IL-8, b beta-defensin2, c SERT and d TPH1 mRNA expression. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 for each condition and Student t-test was used to determine significance with corresponding P values considered statistically significant (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.0001)
