Effect of EPA treatment on mRNA expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules and chemokines induced by TNF.

Endothelial cells were cultured alone or in the presence of 5 µM EPA for 24 h and stimulated with 100 U/ml TNF for the final 4 h. Data are presented as the fold change compared to the level of mRNA in unstimulated endothelial cells. There was no significant effect of EPA treatment on the gene expression profile of TNF-stimulated endothelial cells. Data are ±SEM of four experiments.
NS, not significant.
