Ameliorate Effects of Li-Fu Formula on IL-6-Mediated Cardiac Hypertrophy in Hamsters Fed with a Hyper-Cholesterol Diet
Figure 3
(a) The representative protein products of IL-6, STAT3, MEK5 and p-ERK5 extracted from the left ventricles of excised hearts in hamsters of control, cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups were measured by western blotting analysis. ((b)–(e)) Bars represent the relative protein quantification of IL-6, STAT3, MEK5 and p-ERK5 on the basis of α-tubulin. All bars indicate mean values ± SD (
in each group). **, significant differences between control and cholesterol groups. ##, significant differences between cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups.
