a,b
mRNA expressions were calculated via a standard curve and normalized against an endogen control.
c
Data are given as mean ± s.e.m. Statistical analysis between immunized and control animals was calculated with the Mann–Whitney test.
*
P < 0·05. β1AR: β1-adrenergic receptor; n.s.: not significant.
