Apigenin Alleviates Endotoxin-Induced Myocardial Toxicity by Modulating Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Autophagy

Figure 5

Apigenin attenuates LPS-induced cardiac proinflammatory cytokines. (a) Cardiac inflammation markers TNF-α, IL-1β, MIP-1𝛼, and MIP-2 were measured by real-time PCR, and apigenin treatment significantly attenuated LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokines. Values represented as means ± SD; and . (b) Protein level verification of TNF-α and MIP-2 performed by Western blot analyses where tubulin was used as a loading control.
