Effects of bacterial cell wall components on adipokine secretion. One hundred ng/ml LPS, lipoteichoic acid (LTA), N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine hydrate (MDP), or peptidoglycan (PGN) was added to the visceral adipocyte culture on day 6 after the start of culturing. After further incubation for 48 h, the adiponectin, leptin, and resistin concentrations in the culture supernatant were measured using ELISA kits. A: adiponectin (n = 4), B: leptin (n = 4), C: resistin (n = 4). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 vs control.
