Figure 2From: Upregulation of cystathionine-β-synthetase expression contributes to inflammatory pain in rat temporomandibular joint CFA injection enhances expression of CBS in TG. (A) CBS protein expression was greatly enhanced in CFA-injected rats when compared with age- and sex-matched controls (NS, n = 4; CFA, n = 4, *p < 0.05, compared with NS, two sample t-Test). (B) CSE protein expression was not significantly altered in CFA-injected rats when compared with controls. (C) RT-PCR assays demonstrated a significant upregulation of CBS mRNA expression in TGs in CFA-injected rats (NS, n = 4; CFA, n = 4, *p < 0.05, compared with NS, two sample t-Test).Back to article page
