Antioxidant Activity and Cardioprotective Effect of a Nonalcoholic Extract of Vaccinium meridionale Swartz during Ischemia-Reperfusion in Rats
Figure 4
Values of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and maximal rise velocity of left ventricular pressure at the end of reperfusion period in ischemic control hearts (IC, ) and in hearts treated with fermented berry extract (BE, ) and BE + L-NAME (NOS inhibitor) (). Note that L-NAME (NOS inhibitor) significantly attenuated the improvement of LVDP and observed after BE treatment. * with respect to IC; # with respect to BE.
