Figure 1

Expression of Cx 37, 40 and 43. A shows mean values ± S.E.M. of relative mRNA expression levels measured by quantitative RT-PCR in pulmonary arteries from N rats (normoxia, black column, n = 4 - 5), chronic hypoxic rats (chronic hypoxia, white column, n = 9) and monocrotaline-injected rats (monocrotaline, grey column, n = 5 - 7). B shows protein expression measured by Western Blot and normalized to β actin expression level in normoxic rats (black column, n = 6 - 12), chronic hypoxic rats (white column, n = 9 - 12) and monocrotaline-injected rats (grey column, n = 5 - 7). * means a significant difference for P < 0.05.
