Figure 3

Boxplot showing AT1R protein expression 12 months after inoculation in gerbils infected with H. pylori strains TN2GF4 and SS1 and in controls. The AT1R protein expression was significantly higher in the SS1-infected animals compared with the controls (Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test). Protein levels are presented as optical density (OD). Median values are indicated by the transverse line within the box, the interquartile range by the vertical extent of the box and the total range by the whiskers.
