For each factor, the ratio of mRNA level to GAPDH mRNA was determined. Results were from WT and KOmice (n = 6) with no treatment (controls) and from WT treated with ISO-1 (n = 5). Data are mean ± SEM; *, p <0.05 and **, p < 0.01 as compared to the control group.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
