The NF-𝜅B Inhibitor Curcumin Blocks Sepsis-Induced Muscle Proteolysis

Figure 8

(a) Western blot analysis of phosphorylated and total p38 in septic extensor digitorum longus muscles incubated for 2 hours in the absence (control) or presence of 100 M curcumin. Muscle levels of 19.9±0.9-tubulin were determined for loading control. Similar results were observed in four repeated experiments. (b) Quantification of p-p38 Western blots by densitometry. Results are means ±SEM with 𝑛=8 in each group. ^*𝑃<.05 versus control by Student’s 𝑛=8-test.
