Effect of IL-1β (1 ng/mL) on resistin mRNA expression (a) and protein levels (b) in PDL fibroblasts after 1 day as determined by qPCR (/group) and ELISA (/group), respectively. Untreated cells served as a control. (c) Effect of resistin (100 ng/mL) on IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA expression in PDL cells (/group). Results are expressed as the . Significant difference ().
