Deletion of Metallothionein Exacerbates Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Oxidative and Inflammatory Injury in Aorta
Figure 1
MT-KO mice exhibited earlier and more severe IH-induced aortic pathological changes. The pathogenic changes of aortas were examined by H&E staining (a), and the accumulation of collagen was detected by Sirius-red staining (b), followed by semiquantitative analysis. Data were presented as means ± SDs (); versus WT/C; # versus WT/IH. Bar = 50 μM.
