Fig. 7. Effect of fennel on NF-κB activation in LPS-treated mice. Nuclear and cytosolic extracts in lung tissue were fractionated and the expression of NF-κB p65 (A) and IκB-α (B) proteins in nuclear and cytosolic extracts, respectively, were assessed by western blotting. Lamin B and GAPDH were used as internal controls. Data are reported as mean±S.E.M. (n=7~10 per group). ^##p<0.01, ^###p<0.001 compared with the vehicle group; ^*p<0.05, ^***p<0.001 compared with the vehicle+LPS group.
