Sexual Dimorphism of Cardiovascular Ischemia Susceptibility Is Mediated by Heme Oxygenase
Figure 2
Heme-oxygenase expression (HO-2 and HO-1 expressed as %) in the cardiac left ventricle of male (the black square) and female (the grey square). Data are expressed as means ± S.E.M. of the results of a minimum of 10 rats per group. Statistical significance: . Panel (a): heme-oxygenase 2 (HO-2) (expressed as %) in the cardiac left ventricle tissue of male (the black square) and female (the grey square) rats with densitometric assessment (means ± S.E.M. expressed as %, 100% is the maximal expression). Panel (b) shows heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) (expressed as %) in the left ventricle tissue of male (the black square) and female (the grey square) rats with densitometric assessment (means ± S.E.M. expressed as %, 100% is the maximal expression). Data are expressed as means ± S.E.M. of the results of a minimum of 10 rats per group. Statistical significance: as compared to the female group.
