Figure 8

Representative blots and densitometry histograms of livers of control rats and rats with severe steatosis for P-eNOS/eNOS (a), TXAS (b) and ET-1 (c). P-eNOS, phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase; TXAS, thromboxane A2 synthase; ET-1, endothelin-1; *statistically significant difference between control rats and rats with steatosis (P-value <0.05). The TXAS blot shows a double band, of which the upper one was identified as TXAS based on previous experiments in rat aorta.
