Effects of asiatic acid on vascular remodeling and AT1 receptor protein expression in thoracic aorta. Top panel, representative photographs of thoracic aorta (a) and 2nd order of mesenteric artery samples (b) stained by H&E (original magnification = X 20) (n = 7) and AT1 receptor protein expression in thoracic aorta (n = 4) (c) of all experimental groups. Values are mean ± SEM, p < 0.05. * vs. control group, #vs. MS group. Normal control = normal control rats, MS = metabolic syndrome rats, MS + AA = metabolic syndrome rats treated with asiatic acid
