Studies on Shokyo, Kanzo, and Keihi in Kakkonto Medicine on Prostaglandin E₂ Production in Lipopolysaccharide-Treated Human Gingival Fibroblasts

Figure 2

Effects of mixture of keihi, kanzo, and shokyo on the production of PGE₂. HGFs were treated with combinations of LPS (10 ng/mL) and herbs (56 μg/mL) or kakkonto (1 mg/mL) for 24 h. Concentrations of PGE₂ were measured by ELISA, adjusted by cell number, and expressed as pg per 10,000 cells (mean ± SD, ).
