Protective Effect of Ligustrazine on Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration of Rats Induced by Prolonged Upright Posture
Figure 6
The mRNA expression of IL-1β, iNOS, and COX2 of intervertebral discs from the 7-month groups. Compared with control groups, upright posture increased mRNA expression of IL-1β, iNOS, and COX2 significantly, but ligustrazine and meloxicam pretreatment downregulated those gene expression. The columns represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. compared to model group.
