From: Targeted over-expression of endothelin-1 in astrocytes leads to more severe brain damage and vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Figure 3

Vasospasm analysis and NOS expressions in MCA after subarachnoid hemorrhage. (A) Representative pictures show the histological analysis of MCA. Vasospasm is observed in both Ntg and GET-1 brain after SAH when compared to that of their sham group (n = 5). Histogram shows the arterial diameter measurement of MCA in Ntg and GET-1 after SAH. (*P < 0.05, Mann-Whitey test; n = 5 for Ntg and GET-1 mice). Expression of NOS in MCA after SAH. Representative photos shows the (B) nNOS, (C) eNOS and (D) p-eNOS expressions of sham and SAH of MCA in Ntg and GET-1 brain. Arrowheads show the expression of nNOS (tunica adventitia) and eNOS/p-eNOS (tunica intima), (n = 4 for each group of mice). Histograms show the quantification results (relative value in percentage) of immunocytochemistry of sham and SAH of Ntg and GET-1 MCA sections. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test; n = 4 for each group of mice).
