The Immune Effects of an African Traditional Energy Tonic in In Vitro and In Vivo Models

Figure 8

Transcriptional activity of NF-κβ in LPS stimulated THP-1 cells treated with none cytotoxic doses of the traditional energy tonic. Only the highest dose (100 μg/mL) of the energy tonic induced a significant increase () in transcriptional activity of NF-κβ, while the lower doses did not cause any significant change. Cyclosporine significantly () reduced NF-κβ transcriptional activity as expected. indicates significant difference.
