Figure 4. RWPs improve aging-related down-regulation of eNOS, SKCa and IKCa expression in the mesenteric artery.

Figure 4

The expression level of eNOS, SKCa and IKCa (small- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel, respectively) was determined in mesenteric artery sections using purified polyclonal antibodies and a fluorescence-tagged secondary antibody by confocal microscopy. Left panels show representative immunofluorescence staining and right panels corresponding cumulative data. Results are shown as mean ± SEM of 4 different rats. *P<0.05 indicates a significant difference versus the young rat control group and # P<0.05 versus the middle-aged rat control group. All micrographs were taken at the same magnification.
