Total salvianolic acid improves ischemia-reperfusion-induced microcirculatory disturbance in rat mesentery

Figure 5 Effect of total salvianolic acid on mast cell degranulation induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rat mesentery. A: Representative image of degranulated mast cells in the mesentery after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). a: Mast cells of Sham group; b: Mast cells of total salvianolic acid (TSA) group; c: Mast cells of I/R group; d: Mast cells of TSA + I/R group; e: Mast cells of I/R + TSA group. V: Rat mesenteric venule; Arrows: degranulated mast cells. B: A quantitative evaluation of mast cell degranulation along venules in Sham group, TSA group, I/R group, TSA + I/R group, I/R + TSA group. Data was expressed as mean ± SE of six animals. ^aP < 0.05 vs sham group; ^cP < 0.05 vs I/R alone.
