Fig 3. Role of RVX pre-treatment on LPS induced proinflammatory and proadhesive mediator’s protein expression in rat aorta.

Representative immunohistochemical results for aortic iNOS (A), MCP-1 (B) and VCAM-1 (C) expressions from RVX- or non-treated LPS rats and non-treated control rats as described in the legend. % of IHC positive areas are represented as graphs. ### indicates values significantly different (Student’s t-test) vs. control conditions. *P<0.05, ** P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 indicates values significantly different (Student’s t-test) vs LPS. Values are expressed as the mean±SEM (n = 6).
