Effect of sex hormone and NE treatment on FAK phosphorylation and localization. Distribution of phosphorylated FAK was examined in NRVMs treated with sex hormones alone, NE alone, or NE with sex hormones for 48 h (protocol 1). A: schematic illustration of protocol 1. B: distribution of phosphorylated FAK after 48 h of treatment with NE alone and sex hormone in the presence or absence of NE. Images are confocal micrographs of immunostained NRVMs. Cell nuclei are stained blue, phosphorylated FAK (Y397) is immunostained red, and actin is stained green.
