Figure 6 Characteristics of the preproendothelin-1 and ET-1 receptor subtype expression in the cirrhotic rat Kupffer cells. RNA was extracted from the cells for determination of preproET-1 and ET-1 receptor subtypes mRNA expression by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay. Graphical presentation of data as standardized relative to expression of β-actin mRNA (β-actin control: 90 311.14 ± 3882.67; cirrhosis: 11 095.82 ± 1484.58). aP < 0.05 vs control.
