Figure 3. Immunoblot analysis of adiponectin in WAT and lungs during Mtb infection in rabbit models.
(A) Protein levels of adiponectin in Wat and Lungs of rabbits infected with Mtb strains HN878 or CDC1551 compared to uninfected rabbits. (B) Band intensity was measured using Image J software and normalized to GDI, and represented as Box-Whisker plots. (n=3) (The error bars represent standard error of the mean. * p ≤ 0.05 or $p ≤ 0.5 compared to uninfected rabbits; #p ≤ 0.05 compared to HN878 infected rabbits).
