Moringa oleifera Seeds Attenuate Vascular Oxidative and Nitrosative Stresses in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Figure 5

(a) Immunohistochemical red staining of the p65/RelA subunit of NFκB in rat aortas from Wistar Kyoto (WKY), SHR untreated (SHR), and SHR treated with MOI (SHR MOI). Green fluorescence corresponds to autofluorescence of elastin. Below phase-contrast images. Negative control C(−), incubated only with the secondary rabbit fluorescent-labeled antibody, displays any red staining but only the green fluorescence of elastin. (b) Red fluorescence is expressed in arbitrary units (a.u.) (, SHR versus WKY and ^# SHR MOI versus SHR). (c) Circulating level of C-reactive protein (CRP) (, SHR versus WKY and ^# SHR MOI versus SHR).
