Figure 3From: Mechanism of inhibitory effect of atorvastatin on resistin expression induced by tumor necrosis factor-α in macrophagesAtorvastatin inhibits the TNF-α-induced resistin expression not via HMG-CoA reductase pathway. A. Representative Western blots for resistin in macrophages treated with TNF-α, mevalonate with or without atorvastatin. 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 < 0.001 vs. TNF-α.Back to article page
