DRGs were collected 60 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of vehicle (ratio of DMSO to Tween 80 to saline, 13.5%:0.5%:86%) or drug. HbAA-BERK mice were injected with vehicle; HbSS-BERK mice were injected with vehicle or R-flurbiprofen (9 mg/kg). Lipids of interest were normalized to the total lipid (grams) within each sample and are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Data were converted to log10 for parametric statistical analysis. n indicates the sample size.

*

Different from HbAA mice within the same lipid at P < .003.

Different from HbSS mice within the same lipid at P < .001 (1-way ANOVA, Bonferroni t test).

Different at P < .001.
