Inhibition of cytokine (A) TNF-alpha; (B) IL-6 secretion in RAW264.7 cells. Cells were stimulated with LTA (10 μg/mL) under the treatment of water boiled (VAWB) extract and cold water soaked (VACWS) extract within the range of 25 μg mL-1 to 200 μg mL-1. Values are mean ± S.E.M. Asterisk denotes values that are significantly different from positive control group (LTA group). (a–c) Means within the same column without the same superscripts differ significantly ( , ).
