Anti-Inflammatory Effect of a Polyphenol-Enriched Fraction from Acalypha wilkesiana on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages and Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury in Mice

Figure 1

Effect of WE, WF, and PEF on LPS-stimulated NO production and cell viability in RAW 264.7 macrophages. RAW 264.7 macrophages were preincubated with 100 μg/mL WE, WF, or PEF for 2 h and then treated with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. (a) The nitrite concentration in the cultured medium was measured as an indicator of NO production by the Griess reaction. L-NAME (1 mM), an iNOS inhibitor, was used as a positive control. (b) The cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. Results are shown as the mean ± SD (). The different letters represent the statistical differences at among the groups by Tukey-Kramer’s test.
