Figure 4. Interactions of lipopolysaccharide and adiponectin on pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators.

Effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 2 µg/ml) and/or adiponectin (Adipo; 1 µg/ml) on the mRNA expression of IL1β (A), IL6 (C), IL8 (D), and IL10 (F) at 4 h, 8 h, and 24 h and on the protein level of IL1β (B) and IL8 (E) in supernatants at 24 h and 72 h. Mean ± SEM; n = 6; * p<0.05 difference between groups.
