Figure 4

Effect of Goishi tea consumption on serum levels of antigen-specific IgG 1 and total IgE. *: p < 0.05 (vs. Tap water/PBS group);#: p < 0.05 (vs. Tap water/Der f group); IgG1: immunoglobulin G1, Der f: Dermatophagoides farinae. The figure 4a shows that the serum level of Der f specific-IgG1 was significantly lower in Goishi tea/Der f and Gallic acid/Der f groups (p < 0.05) as compared with the Tap water/Der f group. The serum level of Der f specific-IgG1 was significantly higher in the Tap water/Der f group (p < 0.05) groups as compared with the Tap water/PBS group. The figure 4b shows that the serum level of total IgE was significantly lower in Goishi tea/Der f and Gallic acid/Der f groups (p < 0.05) as compared with the Tap water/Der f group. The serum level of total IgE was significantly higher in the Tap water/Der f group (p < 0.05) as compared with the Tap water/PBS group.
