IL6 and infectious otitis media: Long-term treatment with QFG prevented AOM/DSS-induced CAC formation, reduced levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-6, and interferon γ (IFN-γ), and increased CD3+ and CD4+/CD8+ T cells ratio, without causing hepatic or renal toxicity.
