Allylmethylsulfide, a Sulfur Compound Derived from Garlic, Attenuates Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy in Rats

Figure 4

Effect of AMS on cardiac hypertrophy markers. (a) Heart weight to body weight ratio. (b) mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). (c) mRNA expression of beta myosin heavy chain (β-MHC). (d) Representative western blot images of β-MHC and GAPDH. (e) Densitometric analysis of β-MHC. mRNA expression data were normalized to the expression of the reference gene, RPL32. Protein expression data were normalized with the reference protein expression, GAPDH. Data were expressed as , ( for mRNA expression and for protein expression). , , vs control and ^#, vs hypertrophy.
