Characterization of brain expression level of cleaved caspase-3 and c-Jun in JD- versus RD-fed SHRSR and SHRSP strains. (a) Representative Western blots with corresponding densitometric analysis are shown for c-Jun and cleaved caspase-3 in the brains of RD- and JD-fed SHRSR. (b) Representative Western blots with corresponding densitometric analysis are shown for c-Jun and cleaved caspase-3 in the brains of RD- and JD-fed SHRSP. JD- versus RD-fed SHRSP. JD = high-salt Japanese style diet; RD = regular diet. for each experimental group.
