Figure 7

Decrease in oxytocin receptor expression in MECs of NOD mice. (A) Total protein from healthy BALB/c and diseased NOD LGs were processed for SDS-PAGE / Western blotting. (B) Western blots were normalized to REVERTTM total protein stain showing a significant reduction in oxytocin receptor in NOD LGs compared to BALB/c. Star indicates statistically significant difference compared to the control group; n = 5 per group. For protein blots NOD and BALB/c samples were run and cropped from the same gel; for accurate standardization. Full blots are provided in the supplementary data file.
