Fig. 6From: Arginine vasopressin altered the expression of monocarboxylate transporters in cultured astrocytes isolated from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats and congenic SHRpch1_18 ratsEffect of AVP on expression of iNOS and eNOS proteins of astrocytes isolated from WKY/Izm and SHRSP/Izm rats. Astrocytes isolated from WKY/Izm and SHRSP/Izm rats were exposed to 0 or 100 nM AVP for 24 h, after which iNOS (a. WKY/Izm, b. SHRSP/Izm) and eNOS (c. WKY/Izm, d. SHRSP/Izm) protein was assessed by WB analysis. Total protein (30 μg) was analyzed by Western blot with an anti-iNOS or an anti-eNOS antibody. AVP arginine vasopressin, WKY WKY/Izm, SHRSP SHRSP/Izm.
