Increased Clearance of Reactive Aldehydes and Damaged Proteins in Hypertension-Induced Compensated Cardiac Hypertrophy: Impact of Exercise Training
Figure 5
Cardiac levels of small chaperones and apoptosis-related markers are unchanged in compensated hypertrophy in hypertensive rats. Protein levels of small chaperones αβ-crystallin (a) and HSP25 (b), and apoptosis-related markers Bad (c), phospho Bad at serine 112 (d) and Bcl-2 (e), and their representative blots (f) in heart lysate from control (normotensive), sedentary spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and swimming-trained SHR (SHRt). Protein expression was normalized by GAPDH. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
