NAG-1/GDF15 Transgenic Mouse Has Less White Adipose Tissue and a Reduced Inflammatory Response

Figure 3

Peritoneal macrophages from WT and mice show no difference in the production of inflammatory cytokines in response to LPS. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated from WT and mice after 3 days of thioglycollate injection and plated on 60 mm dishes. After 24 hrs, cells were treated with LPS (1 ng/mL) and culture media were collected at the indicated time points. The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 from 3 dishes for each treatment were measured, in duplicate, using cytokine-specific ELISAs (R&D). The mean ± standard deviation is reported.
