Figure 5.
Western blot analysis for the nuclear Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein levels 24 h after TBI and SFN treatment. (A−C) Representative photographs of the Western blot show Nr2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein levels in sham, vehicle and SFN-treatment animals, respectively. (D−F) The graphs show that Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein levels were increased after TBI and more significantly induced by treatment with SFN. Bars represent means±SEM, presented as a ratio of the H1 or β-actin value. n=8 rats per group. cP<0.01 vs sham operation group. fP<0.01 vs vehicle group, analyzed by one-way ANOVA.
