Figure 2From: N-acetylcysteine attenuates cardiopulmonary bypass-induced lung injury in dogs Expression of TGFβ1 mRNA levels at each time point. After the dogs were killed at each time points, total RNA of lung was isolated. Semi RT-PCR was performed to detect the TGFβ1 mRNA expression. A. Agarose gel electrophoresis of TGFβ1 and β-actin; B. Quantities for densitometric analysis of TGFβ1 mRNA. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 6). ** P < 0.01, compared with control; ## P < 0.01, compared with CPB.Back to article page
