Effects of SS treatment on hepatic iNOS, COX-2 (A), IKK, IκBα, NF-κB (B), and MAPK (C) expression in paracetamol-induced liver injury. Total protein was extracted from liver tissues. The protein expression levels were determined by Western blotting. The bands’ intensities were quantified and normalized as per those for β-actin. The values are reported as the means ± S.E.M. of five mice per group. ^## p < 0.01, ^### p < 0.01 relative to the control group; ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 relative to the paracetamol group.
