Effect of four weeks treatment with atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin (10 mg/kg per day) on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (A) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (B) protein levels in aortic homogenates from treated and untreated diabetic rats, and untreated control. Data represent values normalized against β-actin and expressed as percent change relative to untreated CT. The values shown are the means ± SEM of five animals per group; aP < 0.05 for untreated diabetic rats vs untreated CT. Bottom: Representative Western blot for eNOS and iNOS of homogenized aortic tissue; AV: Atorvastatin; SV: Simvastatin; PV: Pravastatin; CT: Control; eNOS: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase; iNOS: Inducible nitric oxide synthase.
