IL10 and Sepsis: In a murine model of polymicrobial sepsis, baicalin administration has been shown to mitigate the elevation of neutrophil counts in peritoneal lavage fluid, reduce the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and chemokine interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in both plasma and peritoneal lavage fluid, and enhance the secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10).
