Figure 5 Cu, Zn-SOD and MnSOD expression in total protein extracts from sham-operated rats and rats with esophagojejunostomy. (A) A band of 16 ku corresponding to Cu, Zn-SOD observed in both normal rats and rats with enteroesophageal reflux; (B) Esophagojejunostomy-induced progressive increase of MnSOD expression; (C) Absent or weak nitrated MnSOD in control esophagus and its increase after esophagojejunostomy. Lanes 1-3: sham-operated rats; lanes 4-6: esophagojejunostomy 2 mo of evolution; lanes 7-8: esophagojejunostomy 4 mo of evolution; lane 9: molecular weight marker.
