Octanoylated Ghrelin Inhibits the Activation of the Palmitic Acid-Induced TLR4/NF- B Signaling Pathway in THP-1 Macrophages

Figure 1

Palmitic acid augments the level of TLR4 mRNA in THP-1 macrophages by real-time RT-PCR analysis. (a) no treatment; (b) palmitic acid 100 μmol/L group; (c) palmitic acid 200 μmol/L group; (d) palmitic acid 500 μmol/L; (e) LPS 10 ng/mL group. Values are expressed as mean SEM (* versus no treatment).
