Activation of NF-kB and gene expressions of NF-kB and iNOS: Activation of NF-kB was determined by measuring the expression of its 65kD subunit. The blots represent 4–5 rats in each group. mRNA of NF-kB (b) and iNOS (c) were determined by Q-RT-PCR using the primers provided in table I. The values presented are mean of 5–8 rats in each group. Normal rat gene transcripts are considered 100%. *P<0.05 compared to normal
