Expressions of contraction-related proteins and synthesis-related proteins in prostate tissue of asthmatic rats. Expressions of Vimentin, Desmin and TPM were measured by Western blot analysis. Values for each sample were calculated as fold of the content of GAPDH or β-actin and normalized to the mean of the corresponding control group. Data are mean ± SEM from a series of tissues (n = 6) from the asthma group and control group. *P < 0.05 for control vs. asthma
