Figure 4From: Curcumin improves expression of SCF/c-kit through attenuating oxidative stress and NF-κB activation in gastric tissues of diabetic gastroparesis ratsChanges in SCF/GAPDH and C-kit/GAPDH by Western blot analysis. (A) Representative protein band images of SCF, c-kit, and glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). (B) Group levels of relative SCF and c-kit protein expressed by ratio to GAPDH,respectively. : Group I=normal control rats (n=10); : Group II=diabetic control rats (n=10); : Group III=diabetic + curcumin treated rats (n=10); : Group IV=normal + curcumin treated rats (n=10). All values are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p<0.01 (compared to Group I), # p <0.01 (compared to Group II), Δp >0.05 (compared to Group I).Back to article page
