A Fermented Whole Grain Prevents Lipopolysaccharides-Induced Dysfunction in Human Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Figure 6

Effects of 0.7 mg/mL LG pretreatment on EPCs exposed for 23 hours to 10 ug/mL LPS: quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of IL-6, COX-2, ICAM-1, and ET-1 gene expression. The bars represent mean ± SD fold increase in transcript expression relatively to untreated cells (C); ; , , and or less. C, untreated cells; LG, LG-treated cells; LPS, LPS-treated cells; 1 h LG + LPS, 1 h LG-pretreated cells and then exposed for 4 or 23 hours with LPS alone.
