Inhibitory effect of MELT on the production of nitrite and proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-α induced by LPS treatment in RAW264.7 cells. RAW264.7 cells were treated with MELT for 30 min followed by LPS (100 ng/ml) treatment. The content of nitrite was measured by Griess assay, TNF-α by ELISA assay. *P < 0.01 compared with LPS-only treated cells
