Fig. 1. Effect of ASHMITM and extracts of its constituent herbs on TNF-α production.
(A) RAW 264.7 cells were cultured with or without extracts for 24 hours, and then cultured in the presence of 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours. TNF-α levels in cell culture supernatants were determined by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments. #, p<0.05 vs medium alone culture; **p<0.01 vs. LPS stimulated, but untreated (LPS alone) culture. (B) Percent inhibition was calculated in relation to LPS stimulated untreated cells.
