ROS accumulation in aorta (a) and carotid arteries (b) as detected by DHE staining. Acupuncture treatment significantly lowered the ROS level in aorta. (*P = 0.0017 for ACU vs. SHR control and ^# P = 0.0016 for ACU vs. sham-acupuncture.) and carotid arteries (*P = 0.039 for ACU vs. SHR control and ^# P = 0.0449 for ACU vs. sham-acupuncture.). Data were expressed as means ± SD
