PN extract inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines in macrophage cells. (a) MTT assay to evaluate cell viability at various concentrations of PN. (b) IL-6 levels increased in the culture media of LPS-stimulated macrophage cells and significantly decreased with 400 μg/mL of PN. (c) The levels of TNF-α were significantly inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by treatment with PN extract. Data are presented as means ± SEM. (PN unit: μg/mL).
