Low Concentrations of Corticosterone Exert Stimulatory Effects on Macrophage Function in a Manner Dependent on Glucocorticoid Receptors
Figure 5
Effects of low concentration of corticosterone on the expression of GR and MR protein in rat peritoneal macrophages. (a) The expression of GR and MR protein was detected by Western blot assay. -actin was used as loading control. (b) Relative levels of GR and MR protein in rat peritoneal macrophages after treatment with corticosterone (150 nM) and RU486 (10 μM). The bars represented the mean ± SD (). * versus the control group; # versus macrophages treated with corticosterone (150 nM) for the corresponding time.
