NF-κB in lung tissue. NF-κB-positive area (mean and SE) in the lung parenchyma a. Representative photomicrographs of the lung parenchyma immunostained for NF-κB b-d. Vehicle-treated animals that received elastase showed an increase in the NF-κB-positive area c compared with animals in the control group b. This response was attenuated in elastase animals by sakuranetin treatment d; compared with the ELA+Ve group c. NF-kB protein content and a representative Western blot of NF-kB e-f. The Western blot corroborates the immunohistochemistry data. *p < 0.05 compared with the SAL+Ve group; **p < 0.05 compared with the ELA+Ve group
