Naringin Inhibits Apoptosis Induced by Cyclic Stretch in Rat Annular Cells and Partially Attenuates Disc Degeneration by Inhibiting the ROS/NF-κB Pathway
Figure 6
Effect of naringin on oxidative stress and p-P65 expression in rat lumbar interventricular disc degeneration (IVDD) induced by unbalanced dynamic and static forces. (a–d) Effect of naringin on oxidative stress in serum and intervertebral disc tissues: (a) reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, (b) malondialdehyde (MDA), (c) superoxide dismutase (SOD), and (d) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels. and compared to the sham group. # and ## compared to the IVDD group. (e) Effect of naringin on p-P65 expression in the intervertebral discs, as observed by immunohistochemistry. The expression of p-P65 in the high- and low-concentration naringin treatment groups was lower than that in the IVDD group. The p-P65-positive cells are shown in brown (arrows). Scale bar: 1 mm (disc) and 200 μm (NP and AF).
