Angiotensin II-induced hypertension upregulates the expression of microglial marker and promotes the activation of M1 microglial transformation in middle-aged mice. (A) Representative images of brain slices stained with the anti-IBA1 (green) and anti-CD68 antibodies (red) in the cortex and hippocampus (CA1, DG, and CA3) of mice in the control and hypertension groups (immunofluorescence, ×20, scale bar = 50 μm). (B) Histograms comparing the number of IBA1-positive cells in the cortex and hippocampus (CA1, DG, and CA3) of mice in the control and hypertension groups. (C) Histograms comparing the number of CD68-positive cells in the cortex and hippocampus (CA1, DG, and CA3) of mice in the control and hypertension groups. Data are expressed as the means ± SD. * p < 0.05.
