Short-Term Treatment with Esmolol Reverses Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Adult Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats via Inhibition of Akt/NF-κB and NFATc4
Figure 4
Left ventricular oxidative stress biomarkers: catalase activity (a), protein carbonyls (b), total thiols (c), and total antioxidant capacity (d). Experiments were performed in left ventricular homogenates from Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and esmolol-treated SHRs (SHR-E). Values are shown as mean ± SEM; = 6. versus WKY, versus WKY and versus untreated SHR, and versus untreated SHR.
