Figure 2.
Relative gene expression levels in cardiac tissue from WT and NOS3KO mice at baseline and 10 and 22 h after CASP. Gene expression was normalized to 18S rRNA expression level and the mean values for baseline WT mice were set to 1. A: TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α, B: IL-1β, interleukin 1β, C: IL-6, interleukin 6, D: ICAM-1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, E: NOS1, nitric oxide synthase 1, F: NOS2, nitric oxide synthase 2. N = 4 – 8 for each group. *P<0.05 vs baseline mice of the same genotype, **P<0.01 vs baseline mice of the same genotype, #P<0.05 vs WT mice after CASP.
