The effect of myricetin on UVB-induced VEGF expression in SKH-1 hairless mice. (A and B) Myricetin significantly inhibits UVB-induced VEGF expression in SKH-1 hairless mice. VEGF or β-actin expression was assessed by western blotting using antibodies against VEGF or β-actin as described in Materials and Methods. (B) Each band was densitometrically quantified by image analysis. The results are shown as means ± SEMs (n = 3). The pound (#) symbol indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the control group and the UVB-treated group, whereas the asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the UVB-irradiated/myricetin-treated and UVB-only irradiated groups.
