FIGURE 9.

Blocking AMPK activation reversed L-Cys effects on NF-κB activation following HI insult. Representative immunoblots are shown for phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB), total NF-κB, phosphorylated-IκBα (p-IκBα) and total IκBα as determined with western blotting analysis. Quantification of relative levels of p-NF-κB, NF-κB, p-IκBα and IκBα in each group. Values were normalized to β-actin. N = 4 mice/group. Values represent the mean ± SD, ^∗p < 0.05 HI + L-Cys vs. HI; ^#p < 0.05 HI + L-Cys + CC vs. HI + L-Cys.
