Abnormal expression of intercalated discs proteins and mRNA in the myocardium of mice in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). (A) Representative Western blots show the expression levels of β-catenin, plakoglobin, N cadherin, and connexin-43 (Cx43) in mouse heart tissue. (B–E) Densitometry analysis of β-catenin, plakoglobin, N-cadherin, and Cx43 expression from the Western blots. (F–I) Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) results show the relative mRNA levels of β-catenin, plakoglobin, N-cadherin, and Cx43 in the mouse myocardium. Results are presented as the mean ±SD. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. the normal diet (ND) group.
