Role of HSP-90 for increased nNOS-mediated vasodilation in mesenteric arteries in portal hypertension

Figure 2 n-nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and HSP-90 expression in mesenteric nerves. nNOS (A) and HSP-90 (B) in mesenteric nerves of portal-vein-ligated rats (PVL) and sham rats by Western blotting analysis. Protein lysate from rat brain tissue was used as positive control; C: Densitometric analysis of Western blottings revealed a more than 5-fold increase of nNOS and approximately 3-fold increase of HSP-90 protein expression in mesenteric nerves of PVL rats as compared to sham rats. ^aP < 0.05, n = 3 per group.
