Analysis of the expression of NA, NGF, and LIF. (a), (b) Detection of NA concentrations in left ventricle and plasma by ELISA, respectively. (c) Representative Western blot of myocardial NGF. (d) Relative protein level was calculated by band intensity against β-actin. (e) The mRNA expressions of NGF in left ventricle tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. The levels of myocardial LIF were measured by (f) Western blot, (g) band intensity against β-actin, and (h) qRT-PCR. Quantitative data are shown as the mean ± SD, n = 9, < 0.05, < 0.01 vs the SS-13BN group; < 0.05, < 0.01 vs. the DS group.
