To evaluate the effects of MTC on the secretion of chemokines implicated in inflammation-mediated insulin resistance, we analysed culture supernatants and found that following stimulation of the RAW264.7 layer with LPS (1 μg/mL) and IFNγ (10 ng/mL), there was ~ 23-fold increase in the levels of MCP-1, in comparison with control cells. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is Insulin resistance.
