Figure 5 (A, B) Expression of A20 and p-NF-κB p65 in liver tissue of 4 groups. Deletion of cannabinoid receptor 2 promoted the expression of A20 and p-NF-κB p65 in liver tissue. A20, tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3; p-NF-κB p65, phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65. # P<0.05 compared with the WT control group, * P<0.05 compared with the CB2−/− control group, and & P<0.05 compared with the WT model group.
