ALA Reduces diabetes-induced myocardial activation of JNK and P38. Total protein was obtained from the hearts of STZ-induced diabetic rats and vehicle rats. Phosphorylated and total JNK, P38 and ERK were determined by Western blot with specific antibodies as indicated. The extent of JNK (A), P38 (B) and ERK (C) phosphorylation was quantified by phosphorylated protein/total protein. Representative image, bar graph, density analysis results from 8 hearts per group. Data represent mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 vs Control group, #p < 0.05 vs. STZ group.
