Endothelial nitric oxide synthase regulation is altered in pancreas from cirrhotic rats

Figure 3 Immunostaining of caveolin (I) in pancreas isolated from BDL-30 rat. Caveolin was detected in epithelial cells lining the pancreatic ductules (C), cells within the islets of Langerhans (D), and in the apex of acinar cells (B). Cavolin was also present in endothelial lining cells in veinules (A), microvessels surrounding acini (B), and microvessels inside Langerhans islets (D). Immunostaining of Hsp90 (II) in pancreas isolated from BDL-15 rat. Hsp90 was present in epithelial cells lining the pancreatic ductules (C), cells within the islets of Langerhans (D), and in the apex of acinar cells (B). Hsp90 was also present in endothelial lining cells in veinules (A). Immunostaining of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (III) in pancreas isolated from BDL-15 rat. The protein was present in endothelial lining cells (B) and cells within the islets of Langerhans (D). In aorta isolated from BDL-60 rats (A), eNOS is more heavily stained. Magnification is 400x.
