A High-Salt Diet Disturbs the Development and Function of Natural Killer Cells in Mice

Figure 6

HSD decreases NK cell activation. Expression of the activation marker, CD25, in splenic NK cells from control and HSD-fed mice was assessed during different developmental stages (a). The mean fluorescence intensity of CD25 in NK cells (b). Expression of the activation marker, CD69, in splenic NK cells from control and HSD-fed mice was assessed during different developmental stages (c). The mean fluorescence intensity of CD69 in NK cells (d). All the data represent at least three independent experiments. Data are shown as the . Unpaired Student’s -tests (two-tailed) were performed using the Prism software. A value of <0.05 was considered significant. , .
