From: BMP4 is increased in the aortas of diabetic ApoE knockout mice and enhances uptake of oxidized low density lipoprotein into peritoneal macrophages

Figure 5

The BMP4 signaling pathway is activated in atherosclerotic lesions in STZ group. Representative western blots (A) and densitometric analysis (B) of p-SMAD1/5/8 and SMAD1 in each group (n = 6 mice/group). A ratio of p-SMAD1/5/8 to SMAD1 was calculated from band intensities and data expressed as a ratio relative to the control group (n = 6 mice/group). Each bar indicates mean ± S.D. *P < 0.05 vs control mice.
