Representative Western Blotting and semiquantitative determination for VEGF, Endostatin, BAX and NLRC5 protein levels. Samples of urinary bladder were pooled from five animals per group for each repetition (duplicate) and used for semi-quantitative densitometry (IOD – Integrated Optical Density) analysis of the VEGF, Endostatin, BAX and NLRC5 levels following normalization to the β-actin. All data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Different lowercase letters (a, b, c, d) indicate significant differences (p <0.01) between the groups after Tukey’s test
