Representative blot (from 5 experiments) for the expression of LV p38-MAPK, JNK, phosphorylated p38-MAPK (pp38-MAPK) and phosphorylated JNK (pJNK) in sham, 1-, 3- and 7-days post-sepsis groups. Alterations (fold change) in JNK & pJNK (lower panel), and p38-MAPK & pp38-MAPK (middle panel) normalized to β-actin in sham, 1-, 3- and 7-days post-sepsis groups. *p ≤ 0.05 as compared to the sham group, #p ≤ 0.05 as compared to the 1-day sepsis group.
