Figure 5

Effect of AP on ICAM-1 (a), VCAM-1 (b), E-selectin (c), and MMP-2 (d) expression in the aorta of db/db mice. Western blots and corresponding densitometric analyses of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin, and MMP-2 in aortic tissue. Values are expressed as mean ± SE (𝑛=3); ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus WT; ^##𝑃<0.01 versus db/db control.
