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 (P = 0.003; χ ² = 18; Pearson's R = 0.97). (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.
