Hemoglobin assay at (A) 24 hours, (B) 72 hours, and (C) 7 days. At 72 hours (D) Hemoglobin assay was conducted on siRNA groups. Values are expressed as mean±SD. *P<0.05 compared with sham, #P<0.05 compared with vehicle, and †P<0.05 compared with inhibitor and agonist, %P<0.05 compared CD 36 siRNA, and @P<0.05 compared to scrambled siRNA. N=6 per group.
