Effects of GZD on the inflammation levels in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. a Histomorphological analysis of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections (scale bars: 50 µm): Bar graphs show the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration. b The protein expression levels of IL-6, CCL2, and IL-1β in the left ventricle were evaluated by western blot analysis. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8 rats per group). ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01 compared with the NS group; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01 compared with the HS group
