Figure 1From: Precision-cut liver slices in culture as a tool to assess the physiological involvement of Kupffer cells in hepatic metabolismEffect of Kupffer cell inhibition on mediator secretion (TNF-alpha, PGE2 and NOx) by PCLS, obtained from rats pretreated with GdCl3 (Gd+) or NaCl (Gd-) 24 h before experiment; PCLS were incubated during 2 h and 20 h in the presence of LPS (from left to right, each group of three bars correspond to: 0 micrograms/ml, 0.1 micrograms/ml, 10 micrograms/ml). Values are means é S.E.M (n é 3; *p < 0.05 Gd+ vs Gd-, two-way ANOVA; a p < 0.05 LPS 10 micrograms/ml vs LPS 0 micrograms/ml and b p < 0.05 LPS 10 micrograms/ml vs LPS 0.1 micrograms/ml, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test).Back to article page
