Intraperitoneal Oxygen/Ozone Treatment Decreases the Formation of Experimental Postsurgical Peritoneal Adhesions and the Levels/Activity of the Local Ubiquitin-Proteasome System

Figure 1

Levels of proteasome 20S (a) and ubiquitin (b) in the peritoneal tissues from rats during peritoneal adhesions development after time 0 and 10 days in the group treated with oxygen (vehicle control) and oxygen/ozone mixture (3 mL, equivalent to 300  g/kg). The differences from time 0 are considered with * , and the differences from the group treated with oxygen are shown as °  and °° .
