COX-2, iNOS, NF-κB, phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB p65, and IκB-α protein expressions in hepatic tissue of experimental mice with CCl₄-induced hepatic damage. Values presented are the means ± standard deviation (N = 3/group). ^a–e Mean values with different letters in the same bars are significantly different (p < 0.05) and those with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (p > 0.05) according to Duncan’s new MRT. Silymarin group: 50 mg/kg b.w. silymarin treatment dose; LPLT group: 50 mg/kg b.w. polyphenols of Liubao tea (PLT) treatment dose; and HPLT group: 100 mg/kg b.w. polyphenols of Liubao tea (PLT) treatment dose.
