Icariin Attenuates Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension via the Inhibition of TGF-β1/Smads Pathway in Rats

Figure 4

Icariin reduces TGF-β1, Smad2/3, and P-Smad2/3 protein levels in rat lung tissues. Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of target proteins. ^∗∗ρ < 0.01, ^∗ρ < 0.05, ns = no significant, N = 6/group (P-Smad3, Smad3, n = 4/group).
