Elevation of HO-1 Expression Mitigates Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Restores Tight Junction Function in a Rat Liver Transplantation Model

Figure 4

Elevated expression of HO-1 was related to the restoration of intestinal tight junction. Representative Western blots analysis (a) of the expression of HO-1 (b), ZO-1 (c), and occludin (d) in intestinal mucosa collected at 8 h after reperfusion and from each of 5 groups. β-actin was included as an internal standard for each blot. The results were expressed as the mean ± SD, –6/group. , , one-way ANOVA with Tukey test.
