Efficacy of um-PEA and LAC treatment on iNOS expression. Tissues obtained from CAR injected-animals exhibited positive immunostaining for iNOS (B,F), compared to the sham-treated animals (A,F). Um-PEA and LAC (5 mg/kg) treatment reduced this expression (E,F); this reduction was milder with CAR + LAC (100 mg/kg) plus, separate but consecutive, non-m-PEA (100 mg/kg) and CAR + non-m-PEA and LAC (1:1) (200 mg/kg) (data not shown). Other treatments did not display a significant decrease in iNOS expression (C,D,F, and data not shown). Black arrows indicate the positive staining for iNOS. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. Values are means ± SEM. One-Way ANOVA test. *** p < 0.001 vs. sham; #
