Expression of inflammatory protein in tissues and the production of plasma NO. Mouse dorsal skin (A) and the distal part of large intestine (B) were removed and homogenized. The protein levels were determined by immunoblotting with the appropriate antibodies, as indicated. (C) Plasma NO levels were measured in all mice. Values are presented as the mean ± standard error.

NO, nitric oxide; ND, normal diet; HPD, high protein diet; TPA, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate; COX-2, cyclooxygenase-2; DSS, dextran sodium sulfate.

Means with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 by Duncan's multiple range test. In the graph, alphabets are assigned sequentially starting from a high number to a.
