Fig. 4

Butyrylcholinesterase levels in cell culture supernatants of IL-1β activated human astrocytes following nicotine treatment. Both untreated and IL-1β-activated human astrocytes released similar BuChE protein levels into their supernatants following 20-h incubation. Nicotine dose dependently inhibited BuChE protein release by activated human astrocytes. Samples were run as duplicates, and values are represented as mean ± SEM of four independent experiments. Data is presented in terms of fold change compared to BuChE levels following IL-1β treatment
