The table indicates the reduction from the control of RAW264.7 macrophages inflammatory response in the presence of 0, 0.1, 10, and 100 ng/mL Rapamycin (up) and Rapamycin and Torin 5 ng/mL (down).

The first line indicates the response without Rapamycin (up) or without Rapamycin and Torin (down) which is used as control (100% response) and the subsequent values are expressed as % of such responses.
*Indicates statistical significance ( ) from the control.
TNF: tumor necrosis factor, IL-1: interleukin 1, IL-6: interleukin 6, INF: interferon, and NO: nitric oxide.
