Effects of cashew nuts on 5-LOX and Cox-2 expressions. The inhibition of the biosynthesis of inflammatory mediators through the modulation of the activities of 5-LOX and/or Cox-2 considered as a promising approach to treat inflammatory diseases. For these reason we investigated the effect of cashew nuts treatment by Western blots on both enzymes. We found a significant increase after CAR injection, compared to sham, that was significantly decreased in 5-LOX as well as in Cox-2 expression. Representative western blot for Cox-2 (A) and LOX-5 (B) and respectively densitometric analysis (A1,B1). See materials and methods for further details. # p < 0.05 vs. CAR; ** p < 0.01 vs. sham.
