ROS production in vascular injury. a.Dihydroethidium (DHE) staining for superoxide of a stage II atherosclerotic lesion with signs of intimal hyperplasia (left) and stage V atherosclerotic where a complex plaque is already present with substantial intimal hyperplasia and partial occlusion of the arterial lumen (right). The red fluorescence shows intense superoxide production in all layers of the arterial wall. L=lumen. (Photograph courtesy of D. Sorescu). b.Superoxide production in rat carotid arteries after balloon injury. The arteries were balloon-injured and stained with dihydroethidium (DHE). Shown are a normal carotid and a carotid harvested 15 days after balloon injury. L=lumen. Modified from (Szocs et al. 2002).
