Fig 2: Protein expression of AMPK, NF?B-p65, I?B-a, SOD1 and CAT in skin tissues. (A) relative expression levels of proteins; (B) protein banding map. *p < 0.05 compared to the UVB group; **p < 0.01 compared to the UVB group; ***p < 0.001 compared to the UVB group.

Fig 3: Expression of antioxidant defence enzymes in the NC-larva complex. (a) Heatmap shows gene expression in the NC in reference to C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes, as analyzed by microarrays. The lack of a figure in the column indicates unchanged gene expression. Boxes indicate the genes analyzed by immunohistochemistry in (b). (b) Expression of selected enzymes in the muscle sections analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Arrows point to representative larva sections within the NC and asterisks point to representative fields of the collagen capsule. Cat, catalase; Ccs, copper chaperone for SOD1; Gpx, glutathione peroxidase; Gsr, glutathione reductase; Hmox1, heme oxygenase; Prdx, peroxiredoxin; Sod, superoxide dismutase; Srxn1, sulfiredoxin; Txnrd, thioredoxin reductase; Txnip, thioredoxin interacting protein.
