Preventive Effects of Velvet Antler (Cervus elaphus) against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice by Inhibiting MAPK/NF-κB Activation and Inducing AMPK/Nrf2 Pathways

Figure 6

The inhibition of iNOS, COX-2 (a), IκB-α, NF-κB (b), and MAPK protein (c) expression by AVA in LPS-induced ALI mice. Tissue homogenates were prepared and subjected to western blotting using antibodies specific for iNOS, COX-2, IκB-α, NF-κB, and MAPK. The values under each lane indicate the relative band intensities normalized to β-actin. The data are presented as the mean ± SD for three different experiments performed in triplicate. with the control group. and compared with the LPS-alone group.
