Figure 6

Anti-inflammatory effects of fluvastatin (Flu) on CDAA rats. Quantitative PCR analyses for the expressions of IL6, iNOS and ICAM-1 transcripts in control rats, CDAA rats and CDAA rats receiving Flu (5 or 10 mg/kg/day). Densities of IL6, iNOS and ICAM-1 to G3PDH mRNA levels were analyzed by computerized densitometry and are expressed as the indicated ratios, respectively. Flu treatment attenuated the expressions of these pro-inflammatory genes. The number of rats in each column was 8. *p <0.05 and **p <0.01 vs. the control rat; #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 vs. CDAA rat.
