Nanocurcumin attenuates activation of p38 MAPK and NF-kB (p65) in gingival tissues injected with LPS. Representative images of western-blots performed using 40 µg of total protein extracted from the gingival tissues (area of injections) to detect total and activated (phosphorilated) forms of p38 MAPK and p65 (NF-kB). Graphs present data of the densitometric analysis of the bands detected in westerns using protein samples of three hemi-maxillae from each experimental condition. The activation status of p38 MAPK and p65 is shown as relative change (fold change) in comparison with the samples from PBS/vehicle-injected tissues.
