CBSF co-incubation lowered the ROS levels exaggerated by IL-1β in both aortae and endothelial cells. Representative confocal images (a) and summarized data (b) of DHE stain intensity of C57BL/6 J aortic rings incubated with and without IL-1β (1 pg/mL) and CBSF (0.2 mg/mL). Summarized data (c) and representative confocal images (d) of DHE stain intensity of mBMECs incubated with and without IL-1β (1 pg/mL) and CBSF (0.2 mg/mL). Data are presented in means ± SEM; n = 5; *p < 0.05. CBSF, crocodile blood soluble fraction; ROS, reactive oxygen species; DHE, dihydroethidium
