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

Figure 10

Lower degree of eNOS-3 expression at aortic wall in SHR group that received high selenium content diet compared with SHR group that received adequate selenium content diet (; = 18; Pearson’s ). (a) The degrees of eNOS-3 expression in aortic wall of SHR 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 high selenium content diet were assessed semiquantitatively using the same scale.
