Figure 6. Effects of Ori onTLR4-mediated activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway in ALI.

Western blots were performed to detected TLR4, MyD88 (A) and NF-κB p65, IκBα (B) protein levels. β-actin or corresponding total protein (NF-κB p65 and IκBα) was used as control. CG represents the control group; LPS represents the LPS group; and the Ori-treated groups10, 20, and 40 represent 10 mg/kg, 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg of Ori per animal, respectively. The values presented are the means ± SEM (n=3). ^#p< 0.05, ^##p< 0.01 versus CG; *p< 0.05, ^**p< 0.01 versus LPS.
