Selective Gene Expression Analysis of Muscular and Vascular Components in Hearts Using Laser Microdissection Method

Figure 4

BNP mRNA expression in the muscular and vascular samples obtained from the heart of WKY (open column) and SHR-SP (closed column). BNP expression levels were expressed as fold change from the muscular sample of WKY. Unpaired 𝑡-test was used for comparison of initial data before expression as fold changes. Bar = 1×SD (𝑛=3). *𝑃<0.05 versus WKY.
