(C and D) Suppression of SNP-induced production of NO and pro-inflammatory
cytokines by garlic extracts. Cells were pretreated for 2 h with garlic extracts (0.1%) before being stimulated with SNP (300 lM). Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three to
four repeated experiments. ⁄p < 0.05 compared to the no treatment. p < 0.05 compared to the LPS treatment. #p < 0.05 compared to the FRGE treatment. The plus and minus
signs (+ and ) represent conditions with and without treatment, respectively.
