mRNA expression level of genes for IL-1β, TNF-α, and COX-2 after treatment with mushroom extracts. Negative control (PBS), positive control (LPS), A. bisporus extract (ABS), α-amylase treated A. bisporus extract (ABSE), and A. blazei extract (ABL). Statistical analyses were performed by means of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferronis' test. The results represent the mean ± SD of duplicate cultures of two representative experiments. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 versus negative control.
