Epinephrine Enhances the Response of Macrophages under LPS Stimulation

Figure 1

The role of epinephrine in macrophage phagocytosis under LPS stimulation. ((a)–(d)) Confocal images of the following groups are shown (magnification, (a) 200x; ((b)–(d)) 400x). (a) Control macrophages without LPS stimulation; macrophages pretreated with (b) 0 ng/mL, (c) 2 ng/mL, (d) 10 ng/mL, or (e) 100 ng/mL epinephrine under LPS stimulation. (f) Changes in phagocytic index and phagocytic rate at different epinephrine doses compared with the control group. , .
