Age-Dependent Oxidative Stress Elevates Arginase 1 and Uncoupled Nitric Oxide Synthesis in Skeletal Muscle of Aged Mice
Figure 3
Elevated level of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation and uncoupling of eNOS in aged muscle. (a) Representative western blots of protein extracted from young and old muscle samples for 3-NT and eNOS uncoupling. Densitometry quantification of (b) 3-NT and (c) eNOS uncoupling. Values are normalized to the expression levels of the housekeeping gene GAPDH. Results are (-6, , ); data were analyzed using an unpaired -test.
