L. casei inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines expression via resurrection of L. acidophilus. a The expressions of cytokines (IL-17, IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-2) in serum are assessed using ELISA. Data are shown as mean ± s.e.m and min, max. Differences between groups are analyzed by one-way ANOVA. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 VS model). b Associations of the abundance of L. acidophilus with plasmatic cytokines. cc, Spearman’s correlation coefficient after adjustment for weight, group, and arthritis score
