STAT3 and IL-6 levels in supernates of BJ cells treated with T : S extracts in a 1 : 2 formula followed by exposure to LPS. Proinflammatory marker (IL-6) and transcription factor (STAT3) in supernates of BJ cells exposed to T : S extracts in a 1 : 2 formula and LPS. Protein expressions of STAT3 (a) and IL-6 (b) were determined by ELISA. The statistical significance between LPS-exposed groups and the control group or LPS-exposed groups and treated groups were evaluated with one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s posttest. Each bar represents (); , , and vs. ctrl cells and ^#, ^##, and ^### vs. LPS.
