Figure 5

Resistin enhanced cytokine production in human macrophages, and that was reversed by fluticasone. Human THP-1 macrophages were cultured for 24 h with resistin (2 μg/ml) in the absence and in the presence of fluticasone (10 - 100 nM). Thereafter interleukin-6 (IL-6, A) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα, B) concentrations were measured in the culture media by ELISA. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM.
