Effects of macrophage FPN levels on intracellular bacterial growth and inflammatory cytokine expression. The diagram on the left depicts the effects of high FPN levels–low intracellular iron, with consequent inhibition of bacterial growth and decreased inflammatory cytokine production. The effects of low FPN are shown on the right–high intracellular iron, with consequent promotion of bacterial growth and increased inflammatory cytokine production
