Representative DBI mRNA (G) and protein (N) analysis images. Data are means ± SEM. Each experiment was between subjects; [(A) to (G)] n = 5 to 9 per treatment and [(H) to (M)] n = 3 or 4 per treatment. Symbols * or # denotes significance between treatment groups at mild or moderate fluorescent intensity, respectively. Fluorescent signal was stratified by mild, moderate, or strong intensity in HALO analysis software and universally applied to all images. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc [(A) to (M)]. Credit: Caroline Geisler
