Cardioprotective Effect of Resveratrol in a Postinfarction Heart Failure Model

Figure 6

Effect of resveratrol treatment on the phosphorylation of p38-MAPKThr180-Gly-Tyr182, ERK1/2Thr183-Tyr185, and on the amount of MKP-1. Representative Western blot analysis of p38-MAPKThr180-Gly-Tyr182, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and MKP-1 level; a densitometric evaluation is shown. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Representative blots and bar diagrams of three independent experiments are presented. C: control animals; RES: animals treated with resveratrol for 8 weeks; ISO: animals 8 weeks after ISO administration; ISO + RES: animals treated with resveratrol, 8 weeks after ISO administration. Values are mean ± SEM, # (control versus ISO), (C versus RES), and (ISO versus ISO + RES).
