Metabolic activity of macrophages following Hp/Hb/Hb-Hp treatments. Macrophages were treated with or without 0.2 mg/mL of Hp, Hb, or Hb-Hp complexes, concurrently with 1 μg/mL of LPS. After 24 hours of treatment, metabolic activity was measured using the Alamar Blue assay. Fluorescence was measured after 2 hours on a plate reader and results were normalized to the media group. n.s., no significance between all groups
