β-estradiol supplement attenuates vascular remodeling of BA, target organ damage and inflammatory cell infiltration in BA and kidney tissues of SHR. Representative pictures of hematoxylin and eosin staining of renal and arterial sections indicated the protective role of β-estradiol on target organ damage. The two highlighted black lines represent the label of basilar arteries and kidney. The arrows indicate atrophy of the glomerulus, infiltration of inflammatory cell into part of renal interstitium. Magnification, ×200 (scale bar, 4.5 µm) or ×400 (scale bar, 9.0 µm). n=6. BA, basilar arteries; SHR, spontaneously hypertensive rat; WKY, Wistar-Kyoto rats; SHR + E, SHR + β-estradiol.
