Quadriceps muscle content of neutrophil elastase (A) and MPO (B) and percentage of protein thiol oxidation (C) in untreated C57, untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx mice. Symbols for significant differences (p<0.05) are- * = between untreated mdx and C57, $ = between untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and n = C57 (8), mdx (8) and taurine treated (8). A representative blot for neutrophil elastase is shown, protein was standardised to total protein using stain-free gels. From the same stain-free gel image, the loading of actin is shown.
