Connexin43 (Cx43) localization and expression. Representative immunofluorescence images of Cx43 (in green, left column), N-Cadherin (in red, middle column) and an overlay (right column) of Cx43 (green), N-Cadherin (red) and nuclei (blue). a Images from control hearts. b Images from fructose-fat fed rat (FFFR) hearts . The images shown are a maximum projection of 4 optical sections of heart tissue. c Quantification of Cx43 co-localized with N-Cadherin for control (n = 6) and FFFRs (n = 5). d Representative western blot of Cx43 and β-tubulin expression in cardiac tissue (C = control and F = FFFR). e Quantification of Cx43 expression (quantification was performed in duplicates and n = 4/group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM, ** p < 0.01
