Effects of Zn on aortic expression of Nrf2 downstream genes. Aortic expression of Nrf2 down-stream genes NQO-1 expression was examined by real-time PCR at mRNA level (A) and immunohistochemical staining for protein expression in aortic tunica media (B for male and C for female) with 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.
