Figure 5.

Representative immunoblots of protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha in the: (A) liver; (B) kidney; and (C) heart in rats of control (C), sepsis (S), and meldonium + Sepsis (M + S) groups. β actin was used as a loading control for the liver and kidney, while glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as a loading control for the heart. Protein expression levels are calculated and graphically presented as the percent of control (mean ± standard error). Note: tissue samples were loaded on the gels in the groups order C, M + S, and S (blots presented on the left side of the figures), whereas calculated protein expression levels were graphically presented in the groups’ order C, S, and M + S (graphs presented on the right side of the figure). Minimal significance level: p < 0.05.
