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 ( ).
