ERK1/2 phosphorylation is increased in Up4A-treated RA from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. A: representative Western blots for phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2), total ERK1/2, and β-actin. B and C: bands were quantified as described in materials and methods. Ratios were calculated for the optical density of p-ERK1/2 over that of the corresponding total ERK1/2 (B) or for the optical density of total ERK1/2 over that of the corresponding β-actin (C). Data are means ± SE from 5 to 8 experiments. *P < 0.05 vs. Uni; #P < 0.05 vs. DOCA.
