(A–D) NCX-1000 (15 mg/kg) reduces
IL-1β, IL-18, and IFN-γ release in Con A-treated mice. Data points
represent the mean ± SE for five mice/group. *,
P < 0.01 versus Con A alone. (E)
Reverse transcription–PCR analysis of hypoxanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), Fas, FasL, IL-1β, IL-18, and
IFN-γ mRNA transcripts on liver lysates. Lane 1, control; lane 2,
8 h after Con A injection; lane 3, 24 h after Con A
injection; lane 4: Con A plus UDCA, 15 mg/kg; lane 5, Con A plus
NCX-1000, 15 mg/kg.
