Effect of SFEE on TNF-α and NF-kB protein expression level. Panel a: TNF-α; panel b: NFkB and panel c: Anti-β actin antibodies (internal loading control). Lane 1: Control untreated rats receiving only olive oil, Lane 2: rats receiving 0.8 ml/kg CCl4 twice weekly, Lane 3: rats receiving 100 mg/kg silymarin/CCl4 and Lane 4: rats receiving 150 mg/kg of SFEE/CCl4. CCL4 treatment resulted in an elevated expression of both TNF-α and NF-kB whereas their expression was normalized after SFEE as well as silymarin treatment
