Effect of p38 inhibitor, SB203580, on pro-atherogenic molecules and MCMV viral loads in aortas of MCMV-infected Apo E KO mice. a mRNA levels of adhesion molecules, MCP-1, p38, and ATF-2 in aortas of MCMV-infected, SB203580-treated vs. untreated mice; b mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in aortas of MCMV-infected, SB203580-treated vs. untreated mice; c MCMV IE1 gene copies in aortas of MCMV-infected, SB203580-treated vs. untreated mice. Mice were treated four times, every 8 h for 24 h with SB203580. Values are average of n=10 mice per group. Significance (*) at p≤ 0.05
