Endurance Exercise Training Attenuates the up Regulation of iNOS in the Skeletal Muscles of Chronic/Progressive Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Expression of iNOS in gastrocnemius muscle showed significant increase in expression of iNOS is SPD group compared to SC, # P value < 0.05. Exercise did not significantly decrease the expression of iNOS in control group P value < 0.18. However, exercise significantly decreased iNOS expression in PD-induced group, * P value < 0.01. iNOS: Inducible nitric oxide sysnthase. SC: Sedentary control, EC: Exercised control, SPD: Sedentary Parkinson’s disease, EPD: Exercised Parkinson’s disease.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Expression of iNOS in Soleus muscle showed an increase in expression of iNOS in SPD group compared to SC, but the change was not significant #P value < 0.08. Also, exercise did not significantly decrease the expression of iNOS in Parkinsonian group P value < 0.13. iNOS: Inducible nitric oxide synthase. SC: Sedentary control, EC: Exercised control, SPD: Sedentary Parkinson’s disease, EPD: Exercised Parkinson’s disease.
