Figure 5From: Pressure mediated hypertrophy and mechanical stretch up-regulate expression of the long form of leptin receptor (ob-Rb) in rat cardiac myocytesLeptin protein level in pressure-overloaded hearts. Leptin protein level in the control rat hearts (control) and pressure-loaded rat hearts (banding) at 4 weeks after surgery. Leptin content in hearts was determined with Western blot analysis. GAPDH was measured as an internal control. n=2 in each group.Back to article page
