Reduction of nitrite production in LPS-stimulated microglia. Cells were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) in the presence or absence of BFE (25–200 μg/mL) for 24 h. At the end of the incubation period, supernatants were collected for nitrite measurement with the Griess assay. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM for 3 independent experiments. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA for multiple comparison with post-hoc Student Newman-Keuls test. *P < 0.05 in comparison with LPS control.
