Figure 2. Progesterone partially inhibits MBG-induced collagen-1 synthesis.

Figure 2

Cardiac fibroblasts isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats were serum-depleted in DMEM with 1% FBS for 24 h and were then treated with MBG alone or in combination with 100nM progesterone for additional 24 h. Cell lysates were collected in RIPA buffer and probed for collagen-1 using Western Blot. Panel A shows a representative blot; Panel B shows the quantitative data from the mean ± SEM from 6 experiments indicates p<0.05 vs. control.
