Effects of acupuncture on nitrotyrosine expression in the aorta tissues. Both the SHR control and sham-acupuncture group showed an increased nitrotyrosine expression when compared with the WKY control. Acupuncture treatment markedly inhibited nitrotyrosine expression. Data were expressed as means ± SD (*P = 0.0012 for the SHR vs. the WKY control and # P = 0.0073 for ACU vs. sham-acupuncture)
