Compared with that of the STI/PS group, the expression of Il-6 mRNA was significantly suppressed in the STI/GL 0.033% and STI/GL 0.0065% groups (p = 0.0201 and 0.0189), but compared with that of the Healthy group, it remained significantly upregulated in the STI/GL 0.33% group (p = 0.0366) (Fig 11B). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is sexually transmitted disease.
