Cholecystokinin Expression in the Development of Myocardial Hypertrophy
Figure 3
The myocardial tissues of the left ventricular were collected and analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting; the plasma samples were collected at the end of experiment and analyzed by ELISA. (a) Analysis of CCK and GAPDH protein expression from myocardial tissues of the left ventricular by Western blotting. (b) Bar graph shows levels of CCK mRNA in myocardial tissue. (c) Bar graph shows relative intensity of CCK to GAPDH in myocardial tissue. (d) The bars indicate the plasma CCK levels. CCK: cholecystokinin; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; sham: sham operation group; AAC: abdominal aortic constriction. , , compared with sham groups at the same time point; #, versus the 8 weeks and 12 weeks. AAC groups; ##, versus the 4 weeks and 12 weeks AAC groups; ###, versus the 4 weeks and 8 weeks AAC groups; &, versus the 8 weeks and 12 weeks AAC groups.
