Figure 7. Thymoquinone (TQ) downregulated the expression of COX-2 and Caspase-3 in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats.

Figure 7

(A,B) Expression of Caspase-3 in rat sciatic nerve. (A) Representative western blot of Caspase-3. (B) The relative density of Caspase-3 expression. *p < 0.05 versus the normal group; ##p < 0.01 versus the control group. (C,D) Expression of cleaved Caspase-3 in rat sciatic nerve. (C) Representative western blot of cleaved Caspase-3. (D) The relative density of cleaved Caspase-3 of 17KD expression. *p < 0.05 versus the normal group; #p < 0.05 versus the control group. (E,F) Expression of COX-2 in rat sciatic nerve. (E) Representative western blot of COX-2. (F) The relative density of COX-2 expression. **p < 0.01 versus the normal group; ##p < 0.01 versus the control group.
