Figure 7From: Inhibition of secreted phospholipase A2 by neuron survival and anti-inflammatory peptide CHEC-9Reduced levels of active sPLA2 enzyme in rat plasma samples after systemic delivery of CHEC-9. A transient rise in mean levels of active enzyme was found in the first 60 min after vehicle injections in restrained rats. CHEC-9 inhibits this increase at 30 and 60 min. Each data point represents the mean ± s.e.m. of 4 rats (2–3 measurements/time pt./rat) in each of the two treatment groups. The values are expressed as a percent of the pre-injection samples for individual rats. (*) represents significant differences at 30 and 60 minutes (p < 0.05 by Mann Whitney test).Back to article page
