Effects of HS on signalling proteins post burn via western blotting analysis. HS relieved ROS-induced p38 phosphorylation and Akt inhibition (a, b). Both of p-JNK and p-ERK displayed marked elevations at the three time points, and HS administration decreased p-JNK and p-ERK expression (c, d). The sample size was n = 6 for each group. Following burn insult, NF-κB was markedly activated, and HS attenuated this activation (e). The results are expressed as the means ± SEMs. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, vs Burn + saline; ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01, vs Sham.
