TNF and cyclic hematopoiesis: The level of TNF-α in Y group (68.64 ± 5.66 pg•mL− 1), CL group (80.59 ± 17.63 pg•mL− 1), CM group (90.20 ± 19.13 pg•mL− 1) and CH group (96.20 ± 14.42 pg•mL− 1) were significantly decreased compared to M group (p < 0.05), and Tukey post hoc showed that there were no significantly differences in the level of TNF-α among CL, CM and CH groups (p>0.05, supplementary material, Table 4.4).
