Inverse Relationship between urine TGF-β1 and NO 2 -/NO 3 - levels. Dot matrix plot of NO2-/NO3- in relation to active and total TGF-β1 in urine of female (Panel A & B) and male (Panel C & D) rats. The different dots (circle, triangle, square and diamond) represent values of individual rats of each sex at different time points. Mean urinary levels of NO2-/NO3- in female rats were inversely correlated to mean total TGF-β1 (Panel B) and active TGF-β1 (Panel A), with Pearson correlation coefficients of -0.72 (two tailed; *p < 0.02) and -0.69 (two tailed; *p < 0.03), respectively. Mean urine levels of NO2-/NO3- in male rats were inversely correlated to mean total TGF-β1 (Panel D) and active TGF-β1 (Panel C), with Pearson correlation coefficients of -0.89 (two tailed; *p < 0.0001) and -0.76 (two tailed; *p < 0.01), respectively.
