From: Baltic amber teething necklaces: could succinic acid leaching from beads provide anti-inflammatory effects?

Fig. 5

The effects of succinic acid and anti-inflammatory drugs on PGE2 production. THP-1 human macrophage cells were stimulated with LPS in the presence of the indicated concentrations of each drug and the production of PGE2 was measured by ELISA after 20 h of stimulation was measured by ELISA. Results are presented on a scale that is normalised against results for LPS-only cells. Culture supernatant concentrations of PGE2 from macrophages treated with hydrocortisone (a), ibuprofen (b), paracetamol (c) or succinic acid (d). Points represent mean ± SE of 3 independent experiments
