PEMF affects the phosphorylation of P38. The RAW264.7 cells (a) and BMDM cells (b) were stimulated with LPS for 6 hours and then treated with PEMF for 30 minutes. WB showed that there was no significant change in ERK and JNK, but P38 phosphorylation was weakened. (c) After extracting RNA from the RAW264.7 cells, the mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were performed using Tukey’s test. Error bars represent the of three independent experiments. , , .
