Obstructive sleep apnea increases expression of COX-2 and iNOS. (A) The expression of COX-2 in pulmonary tissue of rats detected by western blotting. (B) The expression of iNOS in the pulmonary tissue of rats detected by western blotting. (C) Immunohistochemical detection of anti-COX-2 in the pulmonary tissue of rats. (D) Immunohistochemical detection of anti-iNOS in the pulmonary tissue of rats. Scale bar=50 µm. ***P<0.001 vs. normoxia. iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; COX-2, cyclooxygenase; ns, no significance.
