Figure 2

Effects of KCN postconditioning on oxidative stress parameters. (a) Comparison within and between groups in the value of TBARS, (b) comparison within and between groups in the value of NO2, (c) comparison within and between groups in the value of O2, and (d) comparison within and between groups in the value of H2O2. Statistical significance at the level of within the control group; statistical significance at the level of within the KCN group; statistical significance at the level of between the control and KCN groups; data are presented as means ± SE. R1: first minute of reperfusion; R2: last minute of reperfusion.
