Diabetes-Related Induction of the Heme Oxygenase System and Enhanced Colocalization of Heme Oxygenase 1 and 2 with Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase in Myenteric Neurons of Different Intestinal Segments

Figure 7

The tissue level of HO1 (a) and HO2 (b) in the different gut segments of control and diabetic rats. The levels of HO1 and HO2 were the highest in the tissue homogenates from the duodenum of controls and decreased to the distal part of the GI tract. In the diabetic rats, a statistically intense decrease was observed in the level of HO1 and HO2 in the tissue homogenates of the duodenum but not in those of the ileum and colon. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. (between controls and diabetics), (between different gut segments of controls). C: controls; D: diabetics.
