Figure 2.

Left upper panel: Representative immunoblots of leukotriene 1 receptor (LT1-R; detected at 38.5 kD) and β-actin in adenoids and tonsils from patients with obstructive sleep apnea (SA) and recurrent tonsillitis (RI). BP indicates blocking peptide for competition assay and M indicates molecular marker. Left lower panel: Mean LT1-R/β-actin demonstrate significantly higher LT1-R expression in adenoid tissues of patients with SA (n = 8) compared with RI (n = 8; p = 0.04). Right upper panel: Representative immunoblots of LT2-R (detected at 59 kD) and β-actin in adenoids and tonsils from patients with SA and RI. Right lower panel: Mean LT2-R/β-actin demonstrate significantly higher LT2-R expression in adenoid tissues of patients with SA (n = 8) compared with RI (n = 8; p = 0.02).
