ATR inhibited NF-κB activation in the lung tissue of the CVF-induced lung inflammation mice. Phosphorylated NF-κB p65 protein expression was determined by western blot. The protein expression was normalized to β-actin. Thereafter, the protein/β-actin of the three groups (CVF, ASA + CVF, and ATR + CVF) was normalized to that of the control group. The protein blots were cropped on account of the presence of other groups. Results were presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8 in each group). ^##P < 0.01 vs. the control group; ^**P < 0.01 vs. the CVF group. ATR, atorvastatin; CVF, cobra venom factor; ASA, aspirin; SEM, standard error of the mean
