Figure 2

(a) The representative protein products of ANP and BNP extracted from the left ventricles of excised hearts in hamsters of control, cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups were measured by western blotting analysis. ((b), (c)) Bars represent the relative protein quantification of ANP and BNP on the basis of α-tubulin. All bars indicate mean values ± SD ( in each group). ** , significant differences between control and cholesterol group. # and ## , significant differences between cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups.
