Protein expression of eNOS in rat skeletal muscle.

Notes: Equal amounts (40 mg/well) of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with eNOS antibodies. The animal groups are: chow-fed, untreated dietary obese, diet-to-chow, and fenofibrate-treated. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error, normalized to that of the control group, and expressed as a percentage of the chow-fed (control) group. *P < 0.01 versus chow-fed; ^$P < 0.05 versus vehicle.

Abbreviations: C, chow-fed; V, untreated dietary obese; DC, diet-to-chow; F, fenofibrate-treated; insulin receptor substrate 1; SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; eNOS, endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
