CD59 Underlines the Antiatherosclerotic Effects of C-Phycocyanin on Mice
Figure 7
Determination of Fas protein levels. (a) Photos of immunohistochemistry (). The cytoplasm of positive cells was dyed brownish yellow. The cellular color in endothelial cells of aorta in high-fat-fed control group was darker than that in C-PC treatment group and CD59 transfection group. While in C-PC+CD59 synergy group, brownish-yellow granules were the least and color was the lightest. (A) Control group, (B) C-PC treatment group, (C) CD59 transfection group, and (D) C-PC+CD59 synergy group. (b) IOD values of different groups of mice. *, ** versus control group. IOD values represent the levels of protein expression. Compared with the control group, the IOD values in CD59 or C-PC treated groups were decreased and the differences were significant (*). The IOD values were further enhanced in C-PC and CD59 synergy group and the differences were very significant (**).
