Cytokine release induced by LDL(–) coincubated with LDL(+) and VLDL

	LDL(–)	LDL(–)+LDL(+)	LDL(–)+VLDL
MCP1	1.85 ± 0.44	1.69 ± 0.58	1.67 ± 0.40
IL6	1.30 ± 0.14	1.24 ± 0.18	1.41 ± 0.45
IL8	8.45 ± 3.48	7.71 ± 3.07	8.67 ± 4.75
IL10	0.52 ± 0.16	0.48 ± 0.17	0.47 ± 0.16

The lipoproteins were coincubated, at a proporation of 1:1 (150 mg/L of apoB), with monocytes. Cytokine release is expressed as ng/10⁶cells (n = 3). In LDL(-) incubated with LDL(+) and VLDL, cytokine release induced by the lipoprotein added additionally to LDL(-) was subtracted.
