Comparative Study on Pulmonary Toxicity in Mice Induced by Exposure to Unflavoured and Apple- and Strawberry-Flavoured Tobacco Waterpipe Smoke

Figure 8

(a) Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) levels in the lung tissues quantified by ELISA, at the end of a one-month exposure period to either air (control, ) or plain (P-) waterpipe smoke (WPS, ) or apple-flavoured (AF-) WPS () or strawberry-flavoured (SF-) WPS (). (b) Western blot analysis and graphic representation of NF-κB protein levels in the lung tissues, at the end of a one-month exposure period to either air (control, ) or plain (P-) waterpipe smoke (WPS, ) or apple-flavoured (AF-) WPS () or strawberry-flavoured (SF-) WPS (). Data are expressed as .
