Fig. 2From: Effects of the drying method and extraction solvent on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of Melosira nummuloides bioproductsAnti-inflammatory effects of M. nummuloides extracts on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. RAW 264.7 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharides for 24 h. Data (mean ± standard deviation) represent triplicate independent experiments. Letters a–e indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
