IL6 and infection: Interestingly, our results showed that in the absence of infection, except for C. paupera oleoresin in the concentration of 32 μg/mL, the treatment with 64 and 32 μg/mL of oleoresins from C. reticulata, C. duckei, C. paupera, and C. pubiflora (****P < 0.0001; &P < 0.0001) induced an increase in the levels of IL-6 in comparison to controls.
