Effects of curcumin on NO and ROS accumulation in the basilar artery and plasma from SHRsp. SHRsp was fed with or without curcumin (100 mg/kg/day,4 weeks), the plasma levels of nitrate/nitrite (a), SOD (b) and MDA (c) were determined by assay kits (n = 8 each group). After the basilar arteries were isolated from SHRsp, NO and ROS expressions were determined by DAF-2 AF fluorescence (green, n = 3) and DHE staining (red, n = 3) (d)
