Effects of selected MUFAs and PUFAs on TNF secretion by LPS-treated human THP-1 monocytes. (A) Quantitative results of levels of TNF in the conditioned media of THP-1 cells treated with selected FAs at different doses and 100 ng/mL of LPS for 24 h. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 verses 0 µM vehicle group, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons after one-way ANOVAs. n = 9. (B) Fold changes in levels of TNF in the conditioned media between 100 µM and 0 µM (vehicle control) among the selected fatty acids with LPS for 24 h. The asterisks indicate significance in post-hoc comparison (100 µM vs. 0 µM) shown in panel (A).
