From: Arterial expression of 5-HT2B and 5-HT1B receptors during development of DOCA-salt hypertension
Top: Measurement of 5-HT2B receptor protein density in aortic homogenates from Sham, DOCA-low salt, Sham-high salt and DOCA-high salt rats on days 1, 3, 5 and 7. Bottom: Representative western blot probed for the 5-HT1B receptor protein. Units are reported as arbitrary densitometry units. Vertical bars represent the mean ± sem for the number of experiments indicated in parentheses. * represents statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the response obtained in the corresponding Sham. Abbreviations: S = Sham; DHS = DOCA-high salt; DLS = DOCA-low salt; SHS = Sham-high salt.
