Da-Chuan-Xiong Decoction Ameliorates Sodium Sensitivity and Plasma Norepinephrine via Attenuation of Brain Oxidative Stress in the DOCA-Salt Hypertensive Rats

Figure 3

Effects of DCXD on the pathological changes of cardiac and renal tissues in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. (a–e) HE staining of left ventricular tissues in rats (scale bar = 100 μm), and the arrows point to the myocardial cell hypertrophy, the disordered arrangement of cardiac muscle fibers, and the scattered distribution of the nucleus: (a) control rat, (b) model rat, (c) DCXD-5 rat, (d) DCXD-2.5 rat, and (e) AML rat. (f–j) HE staining of rat renal tissues (scale bar = 100 μm), and the arrows point to the glomerular hypertrophy, basement membrane hyperplasia, and inflammatory cell infiltration: (f) control rat, (g) model rat, (h) DCXD-5 rat, (i) DCXD-2.5 rat, and (j) AML rat.
