Effect of pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on resistin expression in cultured macrophages. (A) Representative Western blots for resistin in macrophages treated with TNF-α for different periods of time. (B and D) (B) Quantitative analysis of resistin protein levels. The values from treated macrophages have been normalized to values in control cells. (n = 4 per group). *P < 0.01 vs. control. (C) Quantitative analysis of resistin mRNA levels. The mRNA level was measured by real-time PCR. The values from treated macrophages have been normalized to matched actin measurement and then expressed as a ratio of normalized values to mRNA in control cells (n = 3 per group). *P < 0.01 vs. control.
