Figure 5From: Probiotic lactobacillus and estrogen effects on vaginal epithelial gene expression responses to Candida albicansDependence of cytokine expression on NF-κB signaling. The mean ± standard error concentrations of cytokines secreted into the basolateral medium by C. albicans-challenged VK2 cells incubated with 17β-estradiol (control), treated with or without curcumin, and colonized with or without the probiotic lactobacilli are compared. *Treatments that were significantly different from the control group by ANOVA, P < 0.05.Back to article page
