Figure 6. Effect of chronic exposure of mice to NNK on the level of expression of THTR-1 and THTR-2 proteins in primary pancreatic acinar cells.

Western blot analysis was done using pancreatic acinar whole cell proteins (60 µg) isolated from chronic NNK exposed mice and their pair-fed controls. A and B: blots were incubated with goat polyclonal THTR-1 and THTR-2 antibody respectively. Data are mean ± SE of at least 3 independent experiments and were normalized relative to β-actin protein expression. *P<0.01, **P<0.05.
