Syringic Acid Attenuates Cardiomyopathy in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 4

Effect of syringic acid on mitochondrial biogenesis factors in the heart of STZ-induced diabetic rats in various experimental groups. The mRNA expression of mitochondrial biogenesis factors was measured by real-time RT-PCR; PGC1-α; NRF1; NRF2; and TFAM. The relative mitochondrial DNA content was quantified: mtDNA/nDNA. SYR: syringic acid; D + SYR: diabetic + syringic acid. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM.; n = 3 per group.
