Hepatoprotective Effects of Morchella esculenta against Alcohol-Induced Acute Liver Injury in the C57BL/6 Mouse Related to Nrf-2 and NF-κB Signaling

Figure 3

NF-κB signaling is involved in ME-mediated hepatoprotection against alcohol-induced acute liver injury. Fourteen-day ME and Sil administration reduced the expression levels of P-IKKα/β, P-IκBα, and P-NF-κB p65 in the livers of alcohol-damaged mice. Phosphorylated protein expression levels were normalized to corresponding total protein expression levels. Data are expressed as (). ## and ### vs. control mice, , , and vs. alcohol only treated mice. ME: M. esculenta, Sil: silybin.
