Fig. 5From: Riboflavin along with antibiotics balances reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines and controls Staphylococcus aureus infection by boosting murine macrophage function and regulates inflammationEffect of Riboflavin and antibiotic treatment on S. aureus infection induced nitric oxide release in the supernatant and lysate of murine peritoneal macrophages. The lysate recovered after time dependent phagocytosis in presence or absence of Riboflavin or antibiotics were used to determine the nitric oxide (NO) release by the Griess assay and were expressed in terms of mM/106cells. Results were presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. &, significant difference with respect to CM *, significant difference with respect to SAM; #, significant difference with respect to Riboflavin (RIBO) plus S. aureus infected macrophages at P < 0.05 level of significance.^, significant difference with respect to ciprofloxacin (CIP) or % Significant difference with respect to Azithromycin (AZM) plus S. aureus infected macrophagesBack to article page
