Effect of apocynin on pro-fibrotic gene expression. Wild-type mice were rendered diabetic by STZ injection, and apocynin was administrated in the drinking water for 2 months. The mRNA levels of Col I (A), Col III (B), osteopontin (C), α-SMA (D), TGF-β1 (E), and TNF-α (F) were quantified in heart tissues by real-time RT-PCR. Data are means ± SD, n = 6–8. *P < 0.05 vs. nondiabetes in vehicle; #P < 0.05 vs. diabetes in vehicle. O.D., optical density.
