Fig. 6From: Role of sex hormones and their receptors on gastric Nrf2 and neuronal nitric oxide synthase function in an experimental hyperglycemia modelEffect of sex hormones and selective ER agonists (PPT, DPN) on Nrf2/nNOS, ERs, and HO-1 protein expression in 48 h in-vitro tissue culture. (a-c) The effect of 48 h in-vitro hyperglycemia was measured on nNOSα, Nrf2, ERα expression. In a separate set of experiments, the effect of PPT and DPN on (d-h) protein expression was assessed. Stripped blots were re-probed with β-actin. Data were normalized with housekeeping gene or protein (β-actin). Bar graphs showed a ratio of target gene or protein with β-actin. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA by using GraphPad prism software. Data are means ± SEM (n = 4). * p< 0.05 compared with NG groups. #  p< 0.05 compared with HG groupsBack to article page
