Quantitation of NF-κB in sepsis-induced liver injury in rats (x ± s, n = 8)

Treatment	Number	NF-κB
Normal saline group	8	7.467 ±6.073
LPS group	8	37.139 ±19.294&
Ketamine-treated group	8	12.500 ±4.685& *
O3/O2 + LPS + ketamine group	8	8.213 ±3.438* #
O3/O2 + LPS + NS group	8	8.889 ±2.716* #

^&p < 0. 05 vs. group I

^*p < 0.01 vs. group II

^#p < 0.05 vs. group III by Dunnett t-test. The blood samples were taken to measure NF-κB levels in serum 2 h after the last treatment
