Figure 2.

Systolic arterial pressure of Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. The systolic arterial pressure is represented as means ± SEM (n = 4 in each group). Norm: normal diet; Norm-Q: normal diet with quercetin; High: high-NaCl diet; and High-Q: high-NaCl diet with quercetin. * Significant difference between high-NaCl diet (High) and normal diet (Norm) at the same experimental time (p < 0.05). # Significant difference between high-NaCl with quercetin (High-Q) and high-NaCl diet (High) at the same experimental time (p < 0.05). Quercetin (10 mg/kg/day) was orally applied. The systolic blood pressure, which was measured under an awaking condition by the tail cuff method. Adopted from [15] with allowance for non-profit use of the figure.
