Despite the increased expression of α-tubulin observed in HF + RED condition, when normalized to α-tubulin, NF-κB p65 expression was significantly inhibited in the HF + RED sample compared to the HF + H2O group after only 12 weeks of extract consumption (Fig. 4i, j), and resembled that of the untreated control group. Here, NFKB1 is linked to hydrops fetalis.
