Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) Bark Extract: Cardiovascular Activity and Myocyte Protection against Oxidative Damage
Figure 7
Spasmolytic activity of the CSM bark extract against contraction induced by 1 μM NA or 80 mM KCl. (a) The effect was expressed in milligrams of contraction. (b) The effect was expressed as percentage of the control. Black bars represent the effect of agonist, dotted bars the effect of agonist in presence of chestnut extract (1 mg/mL), and ruled bars the effect of the agonist after washout of extract. Each point is the mean ± S.D. ().
