Anti-inflammatory effects of Lacto-Wolfberry in a mouse model of experimental colitis

Figure 5 Effect of Lacto-Wolfberry on cyclooxygenase-2 and phosphorylated- signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 levels. A: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels were assessed semi-quantitatively by Western blotting and densitometry. COX-2 levels were normalized to β-actin. Results are expressed in mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 vs -Lacto-Wolfberry (LWB); B: Phosphorylated-signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (pSTAT3) levels were assessed by Western blotting and densitometry. The results are expressed as a ratio of pSTAT3 to STAT3 (mean ± SE). P = 0.057 vs -LWB group.
