FIGURE 8.
Expression of UCP3 and AAC in human skeletal muscle after infusion of sodium nitrite (n = 20) or placebo (n = 15). (A) Expression of UCP3 was unchanged in human skeletal muscle in response to sodium nitrite. (B) Expression of AAC1 was unchanged in human skeletal muscle in response to sodium nitrite. (C) Expression of AAC2 was unchanged in human skeletal muscle in response to sodium nitrite. (D) Expression and phosphorylation status of PDH were unchanged in human skeletal muscle in response to sodium nitrite. White bars, NaCl; gray bars, NaNO2. AAC, ADP/ATP carrier protein; AU, arbitrary units; C, control; N, nitrate/nitrite; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase; UCP, uncoupling protein.
