Acetate inhibits the phosphorylation of MAPK signaling in lungs. (A) Protein levels of p-p38, p38, p-ERK, and ERK in lung homogenates. (B, C) Densitometric analysis of the relevant bands was performed. The values presented are mean ±SEM (n=3, the data was representative of 3 independent experiments), ##
P<0.01 versus the control group; * P<0.05 versus the LPS-treated group. MAPK – mitogen-activated protein kinase; SEM – standard error measurement; LPS – lipopolysaccharide.
