Fig. 2From: Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of 2, 7-dihydroxy-4, 6-dimethoxy phenanthrene isolated from Dioscorea batatas DecneAnti-inflammatory effects of DDP on LPS-activated Raw 264.7 macrophage. Cellular inflammatory response was provoked by LPS in Raw 264.7 cells. After 24 h incubation in the absence or presence of DDP, each culture medium was collected. The levels of extracellular NO (a) and inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 (b–d) were analyzed. Intracellular protein expression levels of iNOS, COX-2 and nuclear p65 in LPS-activated Raw 264.7 cells were quantitatively analyzed (e, f). Bars (values) not sharing common letter indicate statistically significant difference from each other (p < 0.05)Back to article page
