Fig 6. Effect of sesamin on Smad3 phosphorylation and Smad7 protein expression.

Fig 6

After supplementation with sesamin or captopril for 12 weeks, total protein were extracted from left ventricular tissues and subjected to western blot analysis as detailed in the Methods section. Levels of p-Smad3 (A) and Smad7 (B) protein were normalized to that of total Smad3 and tubulin, respectively. Data were presented as percentage of that in WKY rats (mean±SD, n = 4). a P <0.05, b P <0.01 vs. WKY group; c P <0.05, d P <0.01 vs. SHR group.
