Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton Extract Ameliorates Inflammation and Hyperalgesia through Oxidative Stress Inhibition in Experimental Acute Pancreatitis

Figure 6

Effect of the hydroethanolic extract of fruits of Vaccinium macrocarpon (HEVm) on activity of antioxidant enzymes in pancreas and lung. Animals were submitted to injection of L-arginine or saline, treated with HEVm (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) or vehicle (saline), and euthanized 72 h after pancreatitis induction. Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were measured in pancreas ((a), (c), and (e), resp.) and lung ((b), (d), and (f), resp.) tissues (-6). , , and versus vehicle + saline; , , and versus vehicle + AP (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test).
