Figure 8

In the thoracic aorta, immunohistochemistry sections and quantification of protein expressions of interleukin -1 beta, interleukin-6, TNF-alpha, type I collagen, type III collagen, and alpha-SMA. (A) Interleukin-1 beta, (B) interleukin-6, (C) TNF-alpha, (D) type I collagen, (E) type III collagen, and (F) alpha-SMA. The images were taken at a magnification of ×200. Scale bar = 100 μm. 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.
