Propofol Reduces Lipopolysaccharide-Induced, NADPH Oxidase (NOX2) Mediated TNF-α and IL-6 Production in Macrophages

Figure 6

Effect of propofol pretreatment on NADPH oxidase activity. Cells were preincubated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or propofol for 40 min, followed by 6 h incubation with or without LPS. The activity of NADPH oxidase was measured with an oxidase activity assay kit. Each value represents the means ± SD for . # and * indicate that a value significantly ( ) differs from without both propofol and LPS or only LPS treated groups, respectively.
