From: Melatonin ameliorates restraint stress-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in testicular cells via NF-κB/iNOS and Nrf2/ HO-1 signaling pathway

Figure 5

Effects of melatonin (M) on chronic stress-induced activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in testes. (A) The expression of p-IκBα and nuclear protein level of p65 were measured by Western Blot (n = 5). (B) The relative expression level of p-IκBα against ACTB (n = 5). (C) The nuclear protein level of p65 against ACTB (n = 5). (D) The level of TNF-α in testes detected by ELISA (n = 5). All data are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. control group; **P < 0.01 vs. control group; ##P < 0.01 vs. stress group. Control, non-stress treated with saline; Control+M, non-stress treated with melatonin; Stress, stress treated with saline; Stress+M, stress treated with melatonin.
