Level of protein expression in the p-Smad2/3 and p-Smad3 proteins in the Wistar rats

(A) The effects of Capparis spinosa (CS) and Quercetin (QC) on the protein expression of p-Smad2/3 and p-Smad3. (B, C) Quantified plots of the impacts of CS and QC, individually and in combination, on the relative protein expression of p-Smad2/3 and p-Smad3, in High-fat diet (HFD) Rat model. (****P<0.0001, compared to untreated control; ^##P<0.01 and ^###P<0.001 and ^####P<0.0001 compared to the HFD treated group). The GAPDH was used as the loading control

GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
