The expressions of TNF-α and iNOS in the spleen (A and C) and lung (B and D) in the Sham (N  =  5), Vag (N  =  5), SHS (N  =  7), and Vag + SHS (N  =  8) groups. Data are mean  ±  SE. The comparison between groups was performed by using parametric one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc multiple-comparison test. ^#P < 0.05, versus the Sham group; ^aP < 0.05, versus the Vag group; ^bP < 0.05, versus the SHS group
