Effects of ivermectin on IL-1α, IL-4, IL-10, and TNF-α levels in cutaneous wounds. Sprague Dawley rats were anaesthetised and excision wounds created as described in the methods. Animals were sacrificed either on day 7 or day 21 post-wounding. The levels of the cytokines on day 7 and day 21 are presented graphically as mean ± SEM. The statistical analysis is by two-Way ANOVA followed by Bonferrroni's post hoc test. Results presented as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 when comapred to the vehicle (naïve) control group and # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, #### p < 0.0001 represent comparison between levels on Day 7 and 21 within a group
