Phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 in lymphocytes after HBO exposure. (a) Level of t-Akt protein in lymphocytes, normalized to β-actin and expressed as fold change before HBOT (arbitrary control set at 1); (b) level of p-Akt (Ser473) protein in lymphocytes, expressed as fold change before HBOT (arbitrary control set at 1); (c) ratio of p-Akt/t-Akt expressed as fold change before HBOT (arbitrary control set at 1). Inset: representative Western blots (); ; ; p-Akt: the phosphorylated form of protein kinase B; t-Akt: the total form of protein kinase B. Other abbreviations are under Table 1.
