Comparison between Peritoneal Macrophage Activation by Bougainvillea xbuttiana Extract and LPS and/or Interleukins

Figure 3

Mediators production in peritoneal macrophages exposed to BxbE extract, LPS, and interleukins. Peritoneal macrophages were obtained through peritoneal lavage and exposed to different treatments. At different time intervals, the supernatants were collected for the determination of interleukins levels as described above. Individual point represents the mean ± standard deviation of 4 different experiments. In all experiments, the standard deviations were less than 5% and therefore not observed.
