Expression of Nrf-ARE signaling pathway related proteins in arterial tissues of atherosclerotic rats. The transcriptional expression of Nrf2 (A), HO-1 (B), NQO-1 (C), γGCS (D) and SOD (E) in arterial tissues of rats in different groups were detected by RT-PCR. Protein expression of these proteins (F) in arterial tissues was detected by Western blot. Data are expressed in the form of mean ± SD (n=8) for three independent experiments. Compared with the control group, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001; compared with the model group, ##P<0.01, ###P<0.001.
