Hemin and Zinc Protoporphyrin IX Affect Granisetron Constipating Effects In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 5

Expression of HO-1 and HO-2 in duodenum from rats treated with hemin. Representative anti-HO-1 (a), anti-HO-2 (b) immunoblots of duodenal homogenates from vehicle- and hemin-treated rats (upper panels), and quantitative densitometry (lower panels). Increased expression of HO-1 was found in hemin- (50 μM/kg)-treated rats compared to control. No difference in HO-2 expression was found among groups. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of 3 experiments. versus WKY (Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test).
