Expression of collagen genes in the HIV transgenic rodent model. A. The collagen transcriptional regulator, CTGF, is increased in HIV Tg rat muscle (n = 3) compared to wild type (n = 3) using realtime RNA PCR at a significance of P <0.05. The bar plots indicate mean fold change with error bars indicative of standard deviation. B. The collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2 are increase in HIV Tg rat muscle (n =3) compared to wild type (n = 3) using realtime RNA PCR. The bar plots indicate mean fold change with the error bars indicative of standard deviation. The difference between wild type and HIV Tg rodents are significant to P < 0.05.
