Role of estrogen receptor β selective agonist in ameliorating portal hypertension in rats with CCl4-induced liver cirrhosis

Figure 4 Diarylpropionitrile inhibits the protein (A, B) and mRNA (C, D) expression of RhoA and ROCKII, and even suppresses the site-specific phosphorylation of moesin (Thr⁵⁵⁸) in CCl₄-treated rats (D, E). Shown are the relative densitometric quantifications of all experiments (mean ± SE), with values from the sham-operated controls set to 100 DU. ^aP < 0.05 vs control group; ^cP < 0.05 vs DPN group. DPN: Diarylpropionitrile.
