(a) Interleukin-1 beta, (b) interleukin-6, (c) TNF-alpha, (d) type I collagen, (e) type III collagen, (f) alpha-SMA, (g) TAK1, (h) IkB-alpha, and (i) p65. 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.
