Fig. 2From: Impact of gonadectomy on blood pressure regulation in ageing male and female ratsInflammatory markers. Immunohistochemistry on the left sectioned kidney shows CD3 (a) and ED1 (b) inflammatory markers expressed as positive cells per glomerulus of the kidney. CD3, a T cell marker, was increased in the glomeruli at 6 months compared to that of 12 and 18 months of age, P < 0.01. ED1, a monocyte and macrophage marker, was increased in the glomeruli at 6 months compared to that of 12 and 18 months of age, P < 0.01. There were no influences of gonadectomy. Data are presented as mean ± SEM for n = 8 per group, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
