The RAW 264.7 macrophage cells (104cells in each well of 96-well plates) were pre-incubated with fluoxetine (5, 10, or 20 µg/mL) for one hour before LPS (1 μg/mL) administration for 24 h at 37 °C. The culture media were then collected and centrifuged at 800g to obtain the supernatants. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were assessed by commercial ELISA kits (R&D Systems, USA; Cat No., IL-1β: SMLB00C; IL-6: SM6000B; and TNF-α: SMTA00B). A microplate reader (BioRad, USA) was used to read absorbance at 450 nm.
