From: Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α (PPARα) down-regulation in cystic fibrosis lymphocytes
Western blot analysis of total protein extracts derived from human peripheral blood lymphocytes from control persons (C, n = 10; M/F: 4/6) and CF patients (CF, n = 11; M/F: 6/5). (A) A single band was detected at 60 kDa for PPARα. β-actin protein expression was measured for normalization. (B) Analysis of band intensities revealed that PPARα protein levels are down-regulated (-26%) in CF patients compared to healthy subjects. Densitometry data are expressed as means ± standard error. * Significantly different (p < 0.05).
