Deletion of Metallothionein Exacerbates Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Oxidative and Inflammatory Injury in Aorta
Figure 3
MT-KO mice exhibited earlier and more severe IH-induced aortic inflammation. Aortic inflammation was examined by immunohistochemical staining and qRT-PCR for the expression of TNF- (a) and immunohistochemical staining for VCAM-1 (b), followed by semiquantitative analysis. Data were presented as means ± SDs (); versus WT/C; # versus WT/IH. Bar = 50 μM.
