As shown in Fig 3 , the comparison between the groups regarding TNF-α levels reached borderline significance ( P = 0.05).
As shown in Fig 3 , the comparison between the groups regarding TNF-α levels reached borderline significance ( P = 0.05).
While the diacerein group had reduced TNF-α levels at the 75th percentile with a borderline significance (P = 0.05), there were no changes in the IL levels at the 75 th percentile.
At baseline, diacerein-treated participants showed a trend (P < 0.15) toward lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared to placebo participants, which is consistent with more frequent use of ACE inhibitors.
