Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an inflammatory cytokine overexpressed in obese subjects contributing to the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.This study investigated the inhibitory effect of an extract from bamboo Phyllostachys edulis (BEX) on lipotoxicity-induced over-production of IL-6 in metabolic cell lines.Palmitic acid (PA, 0.4 mM) was used to induce lipotoxicity in murine C2C 12, 3T3-L 1, and Hepa6 cells.Both intra-and extra-cellular protein concentrations of IL-6 were measured in the three cell lines after PA treatment with or without the presence of BEX using cytometric beads.
