Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of OS and DNP treatment on the expression levels of VEGF gene (a) and VEGFR2 gene (b) in the hippocampi of OBX mice using real-time PCR. β -Actin mRNA was used to normalize the quantities of VEGF and VEGFR2 genes. Each data column represents the mean ± SEM ( n = 6-7). ∗ p < 0.05 versus sham group and # p < 0.05 versus vehicle-treated OBX group.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked in a 5% nonfat milk for 1 h at RT and then probed with VEGF rabbit polyclonal antibody (A-20: sc-152, 1 : 1000 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and β -actin rabbit polyclonal antibody (PA1-183, 1 : 2000 dilution, Thermo scientific) at 4°C overnight.
