Effect of Hemin on Brain Alterations and Neuroglobin Expression in Water Immersion Restraint Stressed Rats

Table 1

Effect of 6-hour water immersion restraint stress (WIRS) with or without hemin on serum catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) and corticosterone in male albino rats.

Parameters	Groups
	Control	WIRS	WIRS + hemin
Epinephrine (ng/mL)	84.5 ± 3.9	108 ± 2.4	88 ± 4.2
Norepinephrine (ng/mL)	184.8 ± 5.6	220 ± 7.2	188.3 ± 5.8
Corticosterone (g/mL)	37.3 ± 1.7	44.9 ± 1.8	38 ± 0.8

Significant difference from the control group and significant difference from the WIRS group, . Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of 10 rats in each group.
