As shown in Figure 6(b), the integrated density values (
IDV) of TNF-[alpha] with [beta]-actin in the sham group, control group, MA group, TAES group, and EA group were 0.63 [+ or -] 0.02, 0.89 [+ or -] 0.03, 0.79 [+ or -] 0.09, 0.81 [+ or -] 0.04, and 0.70 [+ or -] 0.03, respectively, at 8.5 h after SCI, and the
IDVs of IL-1[beta] with [beta]-actin were 0.65 [+ or -] 0.05, 0.92[+ or -]0.04,0.78[+ or -]0.05,0.82[+ or -]0.05, and 0.73[+ or -]0.06, respectively, and the
IDVs of IL-6 with [beta]-actin were 0.54[+ or -]0.07,0.89[+ or -]0.07, 0.70 [+ or -] 0.04, 0.75 [+ or -] 0.06, and 0.63 [+ or -] 0.04, respectively.
However, none of the experimental conditions employed (Phe; Phe plus ACh; [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] (200 [micro]M, 60 min); TMP (10 nM, 60 min) plus[H.sub.2][O.sub.2]; or losartan (1 [micro]M, 30 min) plus [H.sub.2][O.sub.2]) had any effect on eNOS expression in aortic rings with an intact endothelium, as assessed on Western blots (Figure 3) and by comparing the eNOS IDV/GAPDH
IDV ratio for each experimental condition (Table 3, Figure 3).
Kemutec technicians fitted thumbscrews to the valve bodies of their AD Mucon
IDVs to enable the Angus Firehose extruder line operators to make the fine adjustments needed by the process, eliminating the need to replace glands to accommodate different pipe sizes.
