Figure 6From: Ellagitannins of the fruit rind of pomegranate (Punica granatum) antagonize in vitro the host inflammatory response mechanisms involved in the onset of malariaEffect of urolithins on MMP-9 secretion and mRNA levels in THP-1 cells stimulated with TNF. Urolithins A, B and 8-ME at 25 μM decreased the secretion of MMP-9 in cells stimulated with TNF (-58, -60 and -44%, respectively). All experiments were reproduced at least three times. Statistical analyses were performed with GraphPad Prism 5 software, using 1-way ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni's post hoc test. The significance was indicated as *** p < 0.001.Back to article page
