(a) RNA levels of NOX1 and NOX2 quantified using RT-qPCR in patients without reflux (NR) and with reflux (R) and by the ages of the same groups. Results are expressed as arbitrary units. , . (b) Distribution of the percentage of patients with positive protein expression for NOX1 and NOX2 in patients without reflux (NR) and with reflux (R), and by age, . (c) Protein expression images of NOX1 in (A), (B), (C, D, E), and (F) patients. (d) Protein expression images of NOX2 in (A), (B, C), (D), and (E, F) patients. The arrows are the brown coloration indicating the specific precipitate that correlates with the expression of the said protein.
