New Therapeutic Insight into the Effect of Ma Huang Tang on Blood Pressure and Renal Dysfunction in the L-NAME-Induced Hypertension
Figure 5
Effect of MHT on aorta morphology, eNOS, and ET-1 immunoreactivity in aortic tissues. (a) Representative microscopic photographs in aorta of control and L-NAME groups were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (b) Numerical value of the length of tunica intima-media in aorta of L-NAME model. (c) eNOS immunoreactivity in thoracic aorta of L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats. (d) Digitization of eNOS expression. (e) ET-1 immunoreactivity in thoracic aorta of L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats. (f) Digitization of ET-1 expression. MHT: Ma Huang Tang; eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; ET-1: endothelin-1; OMT: Olmetec. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E. (n = 3 per group). , versus control: #, ##, and ### versus L-NAME.
