Figure 6From: Signaling pathways involved in LPS induced TNFalpha production in human adipocytesComparison of LPS induced TNFalpha secretion by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells versus human mature adipocytes. Human mature adipocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with a LPS dose-response (5, 10 ng/mL and 1 μg/mL). TNFα concentrations in medium (pg/mL) were determined at 6 hours. Plating was 8 Ă— 104 for macrophages and 3 Ă— 104 for adipocytes. The graph represents the mean ± SE of the results from one patient (n = 6 for each condition) for each cell type, representative of two experiments on two different patients (macrophages) and representative of three experiments on three different patients (adipocytes).Back to article page
