Figure 4

Preventive effect of Zn on diabetes-induced aortic TNF-α expression. Aortic expression of TNF-α was examined by real-time PCR for its mRNA level (A) and immunohistochemical staining for its protein expression in aortic tunica media (B for male and C for female), followed by semi-quantitative analysis (D for both male and female). Data were presented as means ± SD (n = 6).*, p < 0.05 vs. Corresponding Control; #, p < 0.05 vs. Corresponding DM. Bar = 50 μM.
