Effect of type 2 diabetes progression on systemic and local nitric oxide levels and on the expression of eNOS and iNOS. Nitric oxide levels on plasma (a, left panel) and on aorta and pulmonary artery (a, right panel); Average expression of (b) iNOS (130 kDa) and (c) eNOS (140 kDa), and the loading proteins, calnexin (90 kDa) and β-Actin (43 kDa) in the aorta and PA of control (n = 6), HF (n = 5–6) and HFHSu (n = 6) animals. Representative western blots for each protein studied are depicted above the respective graphs. For eNOS expression, the representative bands were cropped due to the sample order in the membrane. For complete membrane image see Supplementary data. Values are presented as scatter plots ± SD; One-way ANOVA with Dunnet’s comparison test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001 versus control animals; ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 and ####p < 0.0001 comparing the groups submitted to the hypercaloric diets.
