Table 2 Inhibitory activity of HSS and its solvent-soluble fractions on the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs

From: Hexane fraction from the ethanolic extract of Sargassum serratifolium suppresses cell adhesion molecules via regulation of NF-κB and Nrf2 pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

  1. aIC50 is calculated to be concentrations with a half-maximal expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs
  2. bThe expression of levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were determined with Western blot
  3. cYield is showing the amount of each fraction in 100 g of ethanolic extract
