OSA-induced aortic oxidative stress. Representative fluorescence images of aortic OCT sections of Sham and OSA rats (a). Quantification of colocalization index (DHE (R)) of dihidroethidium (DHE, red fluorescent signal) and nucleus (DAPI, blue) in frozen aortic sections from Sham (n = 12, white columns) and OSA (n = 15, blue columns) (b). Representative immunoblots of the NADPH oxidase subunit p47phox and α-actin (c). Column graph of the p47phox (d), relative to α-actin band densities from aorta homogenates of Sham (n = 7, white columns) and OSA rats (n = 5, blue columns). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. A p47phox western blot membrane is shown in Supplementary Figure 2.
