Protein expression of BDNF and Cox-2 protein.

<p>Western immunoblotting analysis was performed 7/kg body curcumin. β-actin was used as an internal control. Representative images of BDNF expression (A). Relative amount of BDNF protein (B). Representative images of Cox-2 expression (C). Relative amount of Cox-2 protein (D). *p<0.05, CCI versus sham; **p<0.01, CCI versus sham; ^#p<0.05 curcumin versus vehicle (n = 10 per group). Sham: vehicle-treated sham rats; vehicle: vehicle-treated CCI rats; cur20: curcumin 20 mg/kg-treated CCI rats; cur40: curcumin 40 mg/kg-treated CCI rats; cur60: curcumin 60 mg/kg-treated CCI rats.
