Effects of XJEK on ET_A expression in MI rats. (a) Representative images of Immunofluorescence of ETA (green) and DAPI (blue). (Scar bars: 20μm); (b) ET levels in cardiac tissues by ELISA; ((c), (d) and (e)) ET content in cardiac tissues of rats for 2, 4 and 6wk by Western blot, respectively (mean±SEM, n=3). (0) Control group; (1) sham group; (2) MI group; (3) MI+XJEK group; (4) MI+Fosinopril group. Data are represented as mean ±SEM (n=8~10). <0.05 and <0.01 versus sham group, ^#P<0.05 and ^##P<0.01 versus MI group.
