Fig. 2

Scald burn increased calpain activity and degradation of its substrates α-fodrin and ankyrin-B in lung tissue. a Grouped results of calpain activity. b, c Top, representative blots for full-length α-fodrin and ankyrin-B, as well as their 145/150- and 180-kDa fragments. Bottom, grouped results of the densitometric analysis. β-actin was used as a loading control. The percentages of the immunoreactivity of the fragments relative to the total immunoreactivity per lane were calculated, and the values were expressed as arbitrary units relative to the sham group, which was assigned a value of 1. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM; n = 6 rats. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs sham. AMC 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin
