Fig. 4From: Differences in the Expression of Heat-Shock Proteins and Antioxidant Enzymes between Human and Rodent Pancreatic Islets: Implications for the Pathogenesis of Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus Contents of hsp70 in rat and mouse islets following collagenase isolation Rat and mouse islets were taken for immunoblot experiments either directly after collagenase isolation or after 1, 3, and 7 days of in vitro culture. hsp70 contents were determined as given in Materials and Methods. Values are means ± SEM for four observations. *p < 0.05 versus corresponding control islets on Day 0 for a chance difference using Students t test.Back to article page
