New approach of medicinal herbs and sulfasalazine mixture on ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate

Figure 4 P-p38 and p-ERK protein expressions in Dextran Sodium Sulfate-induced colitis. Western blot detection of the mitogen-activated protein kinase-related proteins; p-p38 and p-ERK in mice from the groups of Normal (non-DSS), Vehicle (DSS control), 30sulfa (sulfasalazine 30 mg/kg-treated), 60sulfa (sulfasalazine 60 mg/kg-treated), and SCPB (30sulfa plus Citrus unshiu peel and Bupleuri radix mixture at 30 mg/kg-treated). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean for n = 7. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs normal (non-DSS) mice; ^cP < 0.05 vs DSS control mice. SCPB: sulfasalazine (30 mg/kg) + Citrus unshiu peel and Bupleuri radix mixture (30 mg/kg).
