Inhibition of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB protein expressions by cinnamic aldehyde induced by Carr of foot at the 5th h in mice. Tissues suspended were then prepared and subjected to western blotting using an antibody specific for iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB. β-actin was used as an internal control. (a) A representative western blot from two separate experiments is shown. (b) Relative iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB protein levels were calculated with reference to a Carr-injected mouse. ###compared with sample of control group. The data were presented as mean ± S.D. for three different experiments performed in triplicate. ** and *** were compared with Carr-alone group.
