Thapsigargin but not tunicamycin decreases the expression of EC-SOD. (A) 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with 1 µM thapsigargin (Tg) or 1 µg/mL tunicamycin (Tu) for 24 h. (B) Adipocytes were treated with the indicated concentrations of Tg for 24 h or 1 µM Tg for the indicated time. After the cells had been treated, RT-PCR was carried out. Data were normalized using GAPDH levels (**p<0.01 vs vehicle or untreated cells, ^##p<0.01 vs Tu-treated cells).
