Effect of ciprofibrate and Wy 14643 on CRP and fibrinogen expression in human hepatocytes stimulated by IL-1 and IL-6.
CRP (A) and fibrinogen (B) concentrations were measured in culture medium by ELISA and were expressed as means ± SDs. Human hepatocytes were isolated and treated for 16 hours with 250 μM ciprofibrate (CF), 250 μM Wy 14643 (WY), or vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]; C) and subsequently were stimulated with 25 ng/mL IL-1 or IL-6 for an additional 24 hours. Results of 1 representative experiment of 3 experiments with different donors are shown. *P < .05 compared with control.
