Ascorbate Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Increased Blood Pressure Induced by 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) Amino-1,4-naphthoquinone in Rats

Figure 3

Original trace showing the time course of the frequency of the isolated right atrium. The addition of Q7 to the organ bath caused an irregular beating of the atrium (a), but the preincubation with 2 mM ascorbate before addition of 10−5 M Q7 induced regular-frequency beats of the atrium (b). Three independent experiments were performed.
