Fig. 7. Cerium oxide nanoparticle treatment decreases MCT–induced increases in protein nitration and carbonylation.
Protein isolates obtained from the right ventricles of control, MCT only and MCT + CeO2 nanoparticle treated groups were analyzed by immunoblotting for alterations in protein 3-nitrosylation (Panel A) and carbonylation (Panel B). * Significantly different from control. † Significantly different from the MCT only group (P<0.05). n = 6 animals/group.
