From: Pycnogenol attenuates atherosclerosis by regulating lipid metabolism through the TLR4–NF-κB pathway
The TLR4–NF-κB pathway accounted for the PYC-induced inhibitory effect on LPS-triggered foam cell formation. Cultured cells were treated with various doses of PYC and then stimulated with 10 μg ml−1 LPS for 24 h. After exposure to CuoxLDL, activation of the TLR4 and NF-κB pathway was analyzed by western blotting analysis (a). The corresponding quantified results are also shown (b). **P<0.01 versus control group; #P<0.05 versus LPS-pretreated cells. ##P<0.01.
