Deletion of Metallothionein Exacerbates Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Oxidative and Inflammatory Injury in Aorta

Figure 4

MT-KO mice exhibited earlier and more severe IH-induced aortic oxidative damage. Aortic oxidative damage was examined by immunohistochemical staining for the accumulation of 3-NT (a) and 4-HNE (b), followed by semiquantitative analysis. Data were presented as means ± SDs (); versus WT/C; # versus WT/IH. Bar = 50 μM.
