FIGURE 4.
Representative Western blots (A) and quantitative comparison for protein levels of total NF-κB p65 (B), phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB p65 (C) and NF kappa B inhibitor(IκB)-α (D) in the PVN in rats fed a normal salt (NS) diet or a high salt (HS) diet and simultaneously treated with vehicle (VEH) or 1.0% 3,3-Dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB, an inhibitor of trimethylamine formation). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5 rats/per group). ∗p < 0.05 vs. NS + VEH; †p < 0.05, HS + DMB vs. HS + VEH.
