Intrauterine Malnutrition Reduced Long Leptin Receptor Isoform Expression and Proinflammatory Cytokine Production in Male Rat Pulmonary Endothelial Cells Stimulated by Lipopolysaccharide

Figure 3

Effect of leptin on LPS-induced PGE2 and LTB4 secretion into the supernatants of pulmonary endothelial cells. PGE2 and LTB4 were measured in the supernatants of pulmonary endothelial cells using an EIA kit 6 h after stimulus with LPS and/or leptin. Cells were obtained from 8 male Wistar rats selected randomly from 6 different litters per group. The results are presented as the means ± SEM, .
