Increased Clearance of Reactive Aldehydes and Damaged Proteins in Hypertension-Induced Compensated Cardiac Hypertrophy: Impact of Exercise Training

Figure 3

Swimming training decreases cardiac oxidative stress during compensated hypertrophy. Lipid peroxidation (a), protein carbonyls (b), 4-HNE-protein adducts (c), polyubiquitinated proteins (d), and their representative blots (e) in heart lysate from control (normotensive), sedentary spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and swimming-trained SHR (SHRt). Protein expression was normalized by Ponceau staining. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. versus control. versus SHR.
