RETRACTED: Wu-Tou Decoction Inhibits Chronic Inflammatory Pain in Mice: Participation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 Ion Channels

Figure 6

Effect of WTD on the expression of TRPV1 (a), TRPA1 (b), and TRPM8 (c) in skins of injured paw of inflammatory pain mice by western blot. Mice were orally administrated with WTD (1.58, 3.15, and 6.30 g/kg, resp.), ibuprofen (0.14 g/kg), or water daily for 15 days. The protein expression of TRPV1 and TRPA1 significantly increased in CFA group, while WTD dose-dependently decreased their expression. No significant difference of TRPM8 protein expression was observed among the five groups. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM (). and versus the control group, respectively; , , and versus the CFA group, respectively.
