High Cholesterol Diet-Induced Changes in Oxysterol and Scavenger Receptor Levels in Heart Tissue
Figure 1
Alpha-tocopherol levels and oxidative status in heart tissue. Left ventricles of heart tissue were harvested, and α-tocopherol (a) and MDA levels (b) were quantified by LC-MS/MS. Protein carbonyl content was analyzed by Oxyblot following densitometric analysis of three different protein bands. Relative ratios were quantified and normalized using β-actin (c). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. and 0.01 versus the control group; versus the cholesterol group ().
