Figure 3

Effects of dexamethasone (1 mg/kg, i.p.) administered 1 hr before lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Pre‐DEX; 4 mg/kg, i.p.) injection on liver expression of CSE and iNOS protein expression as determined by Western blotting. β‐actin was used as control protein. Livers were obtained from animals 4 hrs after LPS injection. Representative gel photos are shown in (A) and quantitative data are shown in (B). ‘Saline’ indicates data from animals injected with saline (1 ml/kg, i.p.) in place of LPS. ‘Veh + LPS’ indicates data obtained from animals injected with vehicle for dexamethasone (ethanol/olive oil 5/95 v/v, 1 ml/kg) 1 hr before LPS (4 mg/kg, i.p.) administration. ‘Mif+DEX+LPS’ indicates data from animals pre‐treated with mifepristone. Results are mean ± S.E., n= 6.
