Fig. 5. Phosphorylation of p38-MAPK and Hsp27 by the combined effects of
CuCl2 and hyperthermia (42°C). (A,C) Phosphorylated p38-MAPK
(A,top) and Hsp27 (C) levels were detected in extracts (50 and 100 µg of
protein, respectively) from Rana ridibunda hearts perfused for 15 min
with normal bicarbonate-buffered saline maintained at 25°C (Con) or at
42°C, either in the absence or presence of 500 µmol
l1 CuCl2. As a positive control, extracts from
hearts perfused with 50 µmol l1
H2O2 for 2 min were included. Identical samples were
analysed using an actin antibody as a control for protein loading (A,bottom).

bands by laser scanning. Results are means ± s.e.m. for three
independent experiments. *P<0.05,
