Effects of IH on renal inflammatory responses. Eight-10 weeks old male FVB mice were exposed to intermittent air (C) or IH for 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 8 weeks. Renal tissue was collected for examining ICAM-1 (A) and PAI-1 (B) expression by Western blotting assay. β-actin was used for loading control. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3 – 8). *, p < 0.05 vs corresponding controls.
