Resveratrol increases the activity of the AMPK-Akt-nNOS pathway in the NTS of rats with fructose-induced hypertension. (A–D) Immunoblot showing the levels of P-AMPKT172, P-AktS473, P-nNOSS1416 and P-eNOSS1177 after treatment with resveratrol. The AMPK, Akt and nNOS phosphorylation ratios were significantly higher in the NTS after treatment with resveratrol. The values shown are the means ± SEM, n = 6. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
