Figure 3From: Protective effect of the methanol extract from Cryptotaenia japonica Hassk. against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in vitro and in vivo Effect of CJ methanol extract on LPS-induced IκBα degradation and IKK activation. Peritoneal macrophages were pretreated with CJ methanol extract 1 h followed by LPS stimulation for 15 min. Total protein was extracted and assessed by Western blotting. One of four experiments is shown. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference ( P < 0.05) from cells treated with LPS alone.Back to article page
