Figure 5

COX-2 protein expression in cutaneous wounds of mice fed diets containing 0 (control), 0.5%, or 1% CLA for 2 weeks. (a) Quantified COX-2 protein expression levels determined by densitometry. Values are $\text{mean}\pm \text{SEM}\text{;}$$N=4$ to 6 in each group. Means at a time with a different letter are significantly different, $P<.05$. (b) 0; 0 hr, 24; 24 hr, 48; 48 hr, 72; 72 hr after wounding, end (wound is completely closed).
