Figure 7

Antioxidant effects of AS-IV on AP. The mRNA expression levels of SOD1 and SOD2 were detected by RT-qPCR at 3 time points for each group (A-D). Data are represented as the means ± SD from 3 independent experiments. The protein expression levels of SOD1 and SOD2 in the whole protein were measured by western blot analysis at 3 time points for each group (E). β-actin was regarded as the internal reference for whole proteins. AS-IV significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of SOD1 and SOD2. Figures are representative of 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05 compared with the normal control group at the same time point; ▽P<0.05 compared with the NaTc/L-Arg + vehicle-treated group at the same time point. AS-IV, astragaloside IV; SOD1, manganese superoxide dismutase; SOD2, cuprum/zinc superoxide dismutase; NaTc, sodium taurocholate; L-Arg, L-arginine; AP, acute pancreatitis.
