Figure 4From: Effect of obesity reduction on preservation of heart function and attenuation of left ventricular remodeling, oxidative stress and inflammation in obese miceThe mRNA and protein expressions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (n = 8 for each group). A & B) and C & D) showing the gene (A, B) and protein (C, D) expressions of NADPH oxidase (NOX)-1 and NOX-2, two indexes of ROS generation, were remarkably higher in obesity group than in normal and obese-reduction groups, and notably higher in obese-reduction group than in normal group. For A & B) * vs. †vs. ‡, p<0.001; For C & D). * vs. †vs. ‡, p<0.01. All statistical analyses using one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc test. Symbols (*, †, ‡) indicate significance (at 0.05 level) among A) to D).Back to article page
