Catalase Influence in the Regulation of Coronary Resistance by Estrogen: Joint Action of Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide
Figure 2
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration (in μmol g tissue−1) in cardiac tissue slices (a) and nitrites () and nitrates () concentration (in mmol L−1) in cardiac muscle homogenates (b) of the different experimental groups at the end of reperfusion. Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 4–6 animals/group. *Significantly different from TYRODE-SHAM (); †significantly different from TYRODE-OVX + E2 ().
