Antifibrogenic effects of vitamin D derivatives on mouse pancreatic stellate cells

Figure 6 D-vitamins reduce interleukin-6 secretion. Pancreatic stellate cells of the first passage were incubated for 24 h with D-vitamins (at 100 nmol/L each) as indicated. Subsequently, interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein levels in cell culture supernatants were analyzed by ELISA. Mean values and SE were calculated from 6 independent samples. ^aP < 0.05 vs untreated controls. For calcipotriol, the Bonferroni-adjusted P-value was 0.141.
