Osteopontin (OPN), integrin αvβ3, and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) expression in aorta; tissues of control (CON), subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), and hyoithyroidism (CH) rats. (A) The bands depict representative findings regarding protein expression levels of OPN, integrin αvβ3, and VCAM-1 protein expression in the aortic tissues in CON, SCH, and CH rats. These were evaluated by Western blotting using protein extracted from 20 mg of aorta tissues; (B) The bar graph shows the results of the semiquantitative measurements of OPN, integrin αvβ3, and VCAM-1. Values are shown as the means ± SEM. * p < 0.05 versus CON group; ** p < 0.01 versus CON group.
