Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of different copper sources and levels on the mRNA Expression of CTR1 (A), ATP7A (B), ATP7B (C), ATOX1 (D), ASCT2 (E) and PepT1 (F) genes in liver. CuSO 4 = copper sulfate; Cu-Gly = copper glycinate; Cu-Pro = copper proteinate; CTR1 = high affinity copper uptake protein 1; ATP7A = ATPase copper transporting alpha; ATOX1 = Antioxidant 1 copper chaperone; ASCT2 = lanine-serine-cysteine transporter, type-2; PepT1 = peptide transporter 1. Data represent mean values ± standard error of the mean ( n = 6). Significant differences between processing treatments are represented by different lowercase letters ( P < 0.05).
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween-20 (TBST) and incubated overnight at 4 °C with the antibodies: rabbit anti-CTR1 (1:1,000, Genetex, GTX30642), rabbit anti-PepT1 (1:1,000, Bioss, bs-0689R) and rabbit anti-actin (1:1,000, Absin, abs132001).
