Figure 1. The inhibitory effect of curcumin on AT1R protein and mRNA expression in A10 cells.
Curcumin decreased the AT1R protein expression in a concentration- (for 24 hrs) (A) and time- (at 10−6 M) (B) dependent manner. (C) AT1R mRNA expression was also inhibited by curcumin (CUR, 10−6 M/24 hrs) compared with the control (C). Cropped gels/blots were used in the figure; the AT1R expression was normalized against β-actin. The values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (*P < 0.05 vs. control, n = 6).
