Antioxidant Activity and Cardioprotective Effect of a Nonalcoholic Extract of Vaccinium meridionale Swartz during Ischemia-Reperfusion in Rats
Figure 3
(a) Time course of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP); (b) maximal rise velocity of left ventricular pressure ; left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) during ischemia and reperfusion in ischemic control hearts (IC, ) and in hearts treated with the fermented berry extract (BE, ) and berry juice (BJ, ). Note that LVDP and increased and LVEDP decreased during reperfusion only after treatment with BE. * with respect to IC.
