Notoginsenoside Fc Accelerates Reendothelialization following Vascular Injury in Diabetic Rats by Promoting Endothelial Cell Autophagy

Figure 3

Effects of notoginsenoside Fc (Fc) on pathomorphology and intimal hyperplasia following carotid artery injury. (a) Representative photographs of carotid arteries by hematoxylin-eosin staining at 14 days are shown. Images are at 50x magnification and 400x magnification. Scale and 25 μm. Black arrows indicate elastic lamellae. I refers to intima and M refers to media. (b) Neointimal area of carotid arteries within each treatment group. (c) Media area of carotid arteries within each treatment group. (d) Neointima-to-media area ratios of carotid arteries within each treatment group. Data are shown as the deviation. ## vs. the control group; vs. the diabetes mellitus (DM) group. .
