Probucol Reduces Testicular Torsion/Detorsion-Induced Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Figure 1

The protein expression level of E-selectin in testicular tissues. (a) Representative example of Western blot of E-selectin with β-actin as an internal control. Lanes 1L and 1R indicate the left (i.e., ipsilateral) and right (i.e., contralateral) testes in the control group. Lanes 2L and 2R indicate the ipsilateral and contralateral testes in the ischemia-reperfusion group. Lanes 3L and 3R indicate the ipsilateral and contralateral testes in the treatment group. (b) Densitometric ratio of the Western blot results in ipsilateral (hatched bars) and contralateral (open bars) testicular tissues in the control, ischemia-reperfusion (I-R), and treatment groups. The densitometric ratio of the E-selectin band to β-actin band from the same sample represents a relative expression level of E-selectin protein. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation; . versus the control group; ^# versus contralateral testes in the same group; versus ipsilateral testes in the I-R group.
