Effect of In Vivo Administration of Curcumin/Liposome on IL-6 Production from Mouse Peritoneal Cells.

<p>Balb/c mice were injected with thioglycollate 3 days before harvesting peritoneal cells. Curcumin/liposome (filled bars) or control liposomes (gray bars) were injected into the mice 4 or 24 h before harvesting the cells. The harvested cells were cultured for 24 h in the absence (panel A) or presence (panel B) of LPS as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0137207#pone.0137207.g004" target="_blank">Fig 4</a>. Blank columns represent IL-6 production in the culture of the peritoneal cells from mice without receiving the injection of liposomes. IL-6 in the culture supernatants were quantified in triplicate assays. Data represent mean values ± standard deviation (bars) in triplicate assays. **indicate that P<0.01 compared to mice injected with control liposomes.
