Effect of HBO on the protein expression of IκBα and NF-κB p65. a The cytosolic protein levels of IκBα were significantly increased at 60 min after the administration of the third HBO treatment (*p < 0.05, n = 3). In addition, the levels of NF-κB p65 in the nucleus were significantly decreased after HBO treatment (*p < 0.05, n = 3). IκBα resides in the cytoplasm to prevent NF-κB translocation to the nucleus, and HBO treatment appeared to decrease NF-kB inflammatory signaling. b Quantification of the relative protein expression levels
