Figure 3

Andrographolide reduces the amount of fibrotic proteins in mdx skeletal muscle. Experiments were performed as explained in the legend of Figure 2. Muscle extracts were obtained under each experimental condition and fibrotic proteins were analyzed by western blotting. (A) Fibronectin (FN) and (B) collagen type III (Col III) from tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of wild type (WT), vehicle-treated mdx mice, and andrographolide-treated mdx mice. GAPDH protein levels are shown as loading control; molecular weight markers are shown in kDa. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments, using three mice for each experimental condition. (*P < 0.05 relative to WT mice; #P < 0.05 relative to vehicle-treated mdx mice).
