Fig. 2From: The expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 is increased in experimental periodontitis in ratsThe expression of 11β-HSD1 mRNA is increased in the ligature-induced periodontitis compared with the control. a The values of 11β-HSD1 mRNA relative to GAPDH mRNA. b The values of 11β-HSD2 mRNA relative to GAPDH mRNA. c The ratio of 11β-HSD1 versus 11β-HSD2 mRNA. Values are expressed as mean + standard deviation (n = 16)Back to article page
