Western blots for the expressions of Nox subunits and MAPK activation. a. Nox2 subunit expressions. b. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38MAPKs and JNK. Optical densities (OD) of protein bands were quantified and normalized to α-tubulin detected in the same sample. For MAPK phosphorylation, the phospho-bands (P) were normalized to the total bands (T) of the same protein detected in the same samples and expressed as OD index (P/T). *P < 0.05 for indicated values versus vehicle (Veh) control (Ctl) values in the same category labelled underneath. †p < 0.05 for indicated values versus Veh AngII values. n = 9 mice/group.
