Article Title: Inhalation exposure to 2-ethyl-1-hexanol causes hepatomegaly and transient lipid accumulation without induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha in mice
doi: 10.2486/indhealth.2020-0252
Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative protein expression levels in the liver of mice exposed to 2EH for 3 months (3 M) or 6 months (6 M). (A) Representative bands of MTTP and GAPDH after western blot analysis in mice exposed to 2EH for 3 M. GAPDH was used as an internal staining standard. For each band, (B) catalase, (C) BP, (D) VLCAD, and (E) MTTP were quantified by densitometric analysis. The asterisk indicates statistical significance (* p <0.05) when compared with the respective control. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n=6 for 100 ppm and n=7 each for the other groups). 2EH, 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol; MTTP, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; VLCAD, very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; BP, peroxisomal bifunctional protein.
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies used for western blot analyses were as follows: microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) (Aviva System Biology Corporation, San Diego, California, USA), catalase (Abcam plc., Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK), peroxisomal bifunctional protein (BP) ) , very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) ) , and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, Massachusetts, USA).
