A Novel Chemically Modified Curcumin Reduces Severity of Experimental Periodontal Disease in Rats: Initial Observations
Figure 6
(a) Densitometric analysis of western blots of MMP-8 in plasma from untreated LPS- injected rats (LPS) and LPS-injected rats treated with CMC 2.24 (LPS + CMC 2.24). Each value represents the mean of MMP-8 ± the standard error of the mean (SEM); representative western blots of MMP-8 in plasma from untreated and CMC 2.24-treated rats are shown in the insert. (b) The ratio of pro/active MMP-8 calculated from densitometric analysis shown in (a) above.
