Effects of 3-CT on the production of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Effects of 3-CT on mRNA expressions of TNF-α (a), IL-1β (b) and IL-6 (c) were determined by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. ELISA was performed to examine protein levels of TNF-α (d), IL-1β (e) and IL-6 (F) cytokines. The values are expressed as the means ± SD. ### p < 0.001, compared with the control. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with the LPS group, n = 3
