Effect of AS-IV on ROS generation in the aortae of diabetic mice. (A) Representative photomicrographs of dihydroethidium-stained thoracic aorta sections from the (a) control, (b) DM and at (c) 3, (d) 6 and (e) 12 mg/kg DM+AS-IV groups (magnification, x200). (B) Analysis of ROS fluorescence intensity from (A). ELISA analysis of aortic (C) T-SOD (U/ml) and (D) malondialdehyde (mmol/mg). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n=6-8). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. the control group. #P<0.05 vs. the DM group. AS-IV, Astragaloside IV; DM, diabetes mellitus; ROS, reactive oxygen species; T-SOD, superoxide dismutase; T-SOD, Total-superoxide dismutase; MDA, malondialdehyde.
