Liver proteins involved in the unfolded protein response. The amount of protein was measured for BIP (binding protein), PDI (protein disulfide isomerase), IRE1α (inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha) and MBTPS2 (membrane-bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2) after optical density scanning of the western blot incubated with the corresponding antibody, as specified in the material and methods section. Phosphorylated PERK [PKR (double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase R)-like ER kinase] and phosphorylated JNK (c-jun N-terminal kinase) were reported to their respective total form. Data are mean ± SEM. *: means significantly different from the CT group (P < 0.05, Student t-test). n ≥ 8 per group.
