Solvent extraction of FRB results in fractions that reduce the mRNA level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. (A) FRBA decreased the mRNA level of Il-1β and Il-6 while increasing the level of Tnf-α; (B) FRBB reduced the expression of Il-1β, Tnf-α, and Il-6; (C) FRBC lowered the expression of Il-1β but did not affect Tnf-α or Il-6. The data are represented as mean ± SE, n = 3. Significant differences between the LPS group and the other groups (Dunnet’s analysis, p < 0.05) are marked with asterisks (*).
