Dexmedetomidine Inhibits Inflammatory Reaction in Lung Tissues of Septic Rats by Suppressing TLR4/NF-κB Pathway

Figure 6

Effect of dexmedetomidine on NF-κB p-65 activity in lung nuclear extracts of septic rats by western blotting. Sham: sham operation group; CLP: cecal ligation and puncture operation group; Small: 5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine treatment group; Medium: 10 μg/kg dexmedetomidine treatment group; Large: 20 μg/kg dexmedetomidine treatment group. GAPDH: glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase. Data are expressed as mean±SD, 𝑛=8. ^∗𝑃<0.01, versus sham group; ^#𝑃<0.01, versus CLP group.
