Alliin, a Garlic (Allium sativum) Compound, Prevents LPS-Induced Inflammation in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

Figure 3

Levels of phosphoextracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2 p44/p42) in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Cells were pretreated for 24 h with alliin 0.1 mM and subsequently exposed to 100 ng/mL of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for 1 h afterward.

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviations (SD) of three independent experiments * ; ** .
