Effects of Allicin on Hypertension and Cardiac Function in Chronic Kidney Disease

Figure 6

Localization and expression of Nrf2 in heart. (a) Control (CT), (b) chronic kidney disease (CKD), and (c) chronic kidney disease-allicin (CKDA) treated. Representative heart sections micrographs showing immunoreactivity for Nrf2. Upper row longitudinal areas and lower row cross areas. Left column, control group depicting scarce positivity in nuclei; middle column, CKD group, with no evidence of reactivity; and right column, CKD-allicin treated group with intense reactivity in nuclei.
