FIGURE 2.
IL-18 production by differentiated U937 cells was not altered by the addition of sitosterol or sitostanol. Results shown are representative of three experiments. The IL-18 production by differentiated U937 cells were measured at different time points up to 48 h as indicated on the x axis. The area under the curve did not differ between carrier control, cholesterol control, and sitosterol or sitostanol. Simultaneous stimulation of the cells with LPS did not show any different effects.
