GJD Modulates Cardiac/Vascular Inflammation and Decreases Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Rats

Figure 3

Effect of GJD on the expression of TAK1, IkB-alpha, and p65. The expression of TAK1, IkB-alpha, and p65 in the left ventricular and aorta was examined by western blot. (a) The left ventricular expression of TAK1, IkB-alpha, and p65, and (b) the aorta expression of TAK1, IkB-alpha, and p65. The bar charts indicate relative protein levels referenced to β-actin. WKY indicates the WKY control group, SHR indicates the SHR model group, GJD-LD indicates the SHR treated with GJD at a low dose, GJD-MD indicates the SHR treated with GJD at a medium dose, GJD-HD indicates the SHR treated with GJD at a high dose, and CAP indicates SHR treated with captopril. Data are . . , , vs. WKY group. ^#, ^##, ^### vs. SHR group.
