Figure 2From: Protective effect of the methanol extract from Cryptotaenia japonica Hassk. against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in vitro and in vivo Effect of CJ methanol extract on TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12 in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) in the presence of CJ methanol extract for 18 h. Cytokine production in the culture medium was measured by ELISA. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference ( P < 0.05) from cells treated with LPS alone.Back to article page
