Figure Lengend Snippet: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1, A ), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, B ), P-selectin ( C ) and E-selectin ( D ) concentrations in heart homogenates of mice exposed to hookah smoke (HS) with or without procysteine, 2-oxo-(4R)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid (OTC) (80 mg/kg) pretreatment. Data are presented as individual values with the mean shown (n = 7-8). Statistical analysis by one-way analysis of variance followed by Holm-Sidak's test.
Article Snippet: The concentrations of adhesion molecules, including P-selectin (R&D Systems, DY737), E-selectin (R&D Systems, DY575), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (R&D Systems, DY796), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) (R&D Systems, DY643), in heart tissue homogenates were quantified using ELISA kits obtained from R&D Systems (DuoSet, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
