Effect of Selenium Supplementation on Redox Status of the Aortic Wall in Young Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Figure 9

Higher degree of eNOS-3 expression at aortic wall in SHR NSe group compared with WKY NSe group (; = 8.57; Pearson’s ). (a) The degrees of eNOS-3 expression in aortic wall of WKY that received adequate selenium content diet were assessed semiquantitatively using the scale: 0, missed; 1, weak; 2, moderate; 3, high expression. (b) The degrees of eNOS-3 expression in aortic wall of SHR that received adequate selenium content diet were assessed semiquantitatively using the same scale.
