Expressions of TGF-β, collagen IV, and fibronectin. (a) Representative western blots of TGF-β, collagen IV, and fibronectin. (b) The expression of TGF-β significantly increased in the 24 M group compared with the 2 M and 12 M groups. (c) The expression of collagen IV gradually increased with age. (d) The expression of fibronectin significantly increased with age. , , and . Values are shown as mean ± SD.
