IL10 and alkaline phosphatase measurement: The dendritic cell- (DC-) directed preferential differentiation of Th0 to Th1 (rather than to Th2) drives the inflammation in AP, but magnolol was able to increase the myeloid-to-lymphoid DC ratio, as well as the IL-10/IFN-γ ratio, thereby switching the Th0 differentiation from the Th1 to Th2 and decreasing the Th1/Th2 ratio from the high proinflammatory levels typical for AP to some lower values more congenial with an appeased local and systemic inflammatory process [121].
