Figure 1. TLR4 protein expression is augmented in mesenteric resistance arteries from 15 weeks-old SHR compared to Wistar with the same age or to SHR 5-weeks-old. Anti-TLR4 treatment decreased TLR4 protein expression in SHR.

Figure 1

(A) TLR4 protein expression was analyzed in mesenteric resistance arteries from 15 week-old Wistar (white bar) and SHR (black bar, and (B) in 5 weeks-old (white bar) and 15 weeks-old (black bar) SHR. (C) We also evaluated TLR4 protein expression in Wistar and SHR rats treated with IgG or anti-TLR4. On top of A, B and C, representative western blot images of TLR4 and P–actin protein expression. Bar graphs show the relative expression of TLR4 after normalization to β-actin expression. Values are means ± SEM, n= 6. *P < 0.05 compared with Wistar (A), 5 wk-old SHR (B) and Wistar IgG (C); # P < 0.05 compared with SHR IgG (C). Statistical test: Student's t test (A and B) and one-way ANOVA (C).
