2. Figure 1. A, Western blot of PKCα in PRP incubated with GW (GW; 1 μmol/L, 3 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L) using samples that were either immunoprecipitated with PPARβ/δ beforehand (homogenate IP) or not (total homogenate).
Figure 1. A, Western blot of PKCα in PRP incubated with GW (GW; 1 μmol/L, 3 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L) using samples that were either immunoprecipitated with PPARβ/δ beforehand (homogenate IP) or not (total homogenate). B, Densitometry for the imunoprecipitation results only. C, PKCα activation after incubation with GW (1 μmol/L) for an increasing amount of time. Vehicle sample (V) was taken after 30 minutes incubation. Blots shown are representative of 3 to 4 experiments. *P<0.05 for vehicle vs treated; 1-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett post test.

Figure 2. A, Effect of GW (GW) in murine PRP on (A) cAMP release, (B) ADP-induced adhesion, and (C) ADP-induced aggregation. Data in B and C are represented as % compared to ADP control for each genotype. n=3 experiments, each using PRP pooled from 8 to 12 mice. *P<0.05 for differences between control and treated group; 1-way ANOVA (A) or t test (B and C). #P<0.05 for differences between WT and PPARβ/δ−/− within treatment group; 2-way ANOVA.
