Effects of ALCAR on the protein expressions of CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, and iNOS in aorta and heart tissues of AS rats. (A) The relative protein expression of CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β and iNOS in the aorta tissue among the control, AS, ALCAR, and AS+ALCAR groups. (B) The relative protein expression of CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, and iNOS in the heart tissue among the control, AS, ALCAR, and AS+ALCAR groups. Compared with the control group, * p<0.05 and ** P<0.01; Compared with the AS group, ##
P<0.01.
