Figure 2. Effects of ORX and TP replacement on SMP30 expression in rat kidney and liver.

Figure 2

Two-month-old male rats underwent sham-operation (Sham) or ORX for 7 days and the ORX rats were then treated with sesame oil or TP for another 7 days. (A) SMP30 protein expression in rat kidney and liver were analyzed by Western blotting, normalized to β-actin expression in the kidney (B) and liver (C). (D) SMP30 mRNA expression in rat kidney and liver were analyzed by RT-PCR, normalized to gapgh expression in rat kidney (E) and liver (F). Rat plasma testosterone (G) and LH (H) were measured by RIA. Data represent means ± SEM (n = 8). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 as compared with the sham-operated rats; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 as compared with the ORX rats. The gels have been run under the same experimental conditions and cropped blots/gels were shown. The entire of membrane/gels pictures of Fig. 2A,D were presented in the Supplementary Figs S4 and S5.
