doi: 10.1186/s13104-024-06962-x
Figure Lengend Snippet: FDE attenuates hepatic ER stress and inhibits activation of PERK pathway in HFD-fed mice. ( A ) Representative images of immunofluorescence staining for GRP78 in the livers of mice (magnification 200× and 400×; scale bar, 50 μm and 25 μm). ( B ) Quantification of GRP78 fluorescence intensity. ( C ) Protein expression of GRP78 and CHOP determined by Western blot. ( D , E ) Quantification of protein expression. ( F ) Protein expression of P-EIF2α and EIF2α determined by Western blot. ( G ) Quantification of protein expression. Control, normal diet group; Control + FDE, normal diet + Fagopyrum dibotrys extract; HFD, high-fat diet group; HFD + FDE, high-fat diet + Fagopyrum dibotrys extract. The presented data represent the mean ± SEM ( n = 6). ** p < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001
Article Snippet: The slices were hydrated in gradient alcohol, washed with PBS three times, blocked with goat serum to prevent nonspecific antibody binding, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with specific primary antibodies against GRP78 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat#3177, USA; 1:200).
