Atorvastatin Improves Survival in Septic Rats: Effect on Tissue Inflammatory Pathway and on Insulin Signaling
Figure 5
Representative blots show the NFkB activation in nuclear fractions of liver (A), muscle (B) and adipose tissue (C) of sham and septic rats.
In this case blots were stripped and reprobed with actin (A–C, lower panels) to confirm equal loading of proteins. Tissue levels of iNOS (D–F) and IL-6 (G–I) expression in liver, muscle and adipose tissue of sham and septic rats. Data are presented as means ± S.E.M from 6–8 rats per group. *P<0.05 (Sepsis/Sal vs. all others groups); **P<0.001 (Sepsis/Sal vs. control); #P<0.05 (Sepsis/Sal vs. Sepsis/Ator). IB, immunoblot; CLT: Sham/Saline; ShT: Sham/Atorvastatin; SAL: saline; ATOR: atorvastatin.
