Fig. 7. Changes induced in NOS2, cav-1 and cav-3 levels in muscle (quadriceps) of wild-type (NOS2+/+) and knock-out (NOS2-/-) mice upon treatment with LPS/IFN-
. The LPS/IFN-
proinflammatory stimulus was maintained in animals for 36 hours and the muscular tissue was processed. The intensity of each immunodetected protein band was quantified using the UVI-band software and represented as a vertical bar chart. The results shown are representative of two individual experiments, with four mice used in each condition tested.
