Fig. 1From: Increased protein phosphatase 5 expression in inflammation-induced left ventricular dysfunction in rats LV expression of markers of microvascular inflammation and immune cell activation. Relative mRNA expression of VCAM1 (a), PTX3 (b) and iNOS (c) in left ventricular tissues of control, CIA and CIA + anti-TNFα. Results are expressed in arbitrary units normalized for the expression of the endogenous reference gene, HPRT1, using the ∆∆Ct method. Data are presented as mean ± SEM for VCAM1 and median and interquartile range for PTX3 and iNOS; **p < 0.01 versus control, ***p < 0.001 versus control, ****p < 0.0001 versus control, #p < 0.05 versus CIABack to article page
