  1. Cells (in triplicates) were incubated with graded amounts of substances, stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS and cultured for 24 h. PGE2 and NO were measured by EIA and the Griess reaction, respectively, and the IC50 values were calculated for each experimental series. N: number of independent experimental series. L-NAME: L-NG-Nitroarginine methyl ester
