Fig. 7. ( A ) Protein expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH) subunits, including Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, p22phox, p47phox, and adaptin in the membrane from the rat aorta without endothelium, after 20-min incubation in the control solution with the addition of phenylephrine (3 × 10−7m), U46619 (3 × 10−8m), or U46619 (3 × 10−8m) in combination with propofol (10−6m) are shown. The adaptin band shows equal loading of protein. ( B ) In the bar graph, the subunit band density (assay unit; AU) per adaptin band density (AU) is expressed as means ± SD; n refers to the number of rats from which the aorta was taken. Difference between the control aorta and the aorta treated with U46619 is statistically significant (* P < 0.05).
