TABLE 3.
Levels of NO, Ang II, and VCAM-1 in the different experimental groups. LDH, MDH, and HDH are equivalent to concentrations 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, and 20 mg/mL, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SD. p < 0.05 is considered significant. Statistical significance is denoted by * when compared with control, # when compared with RVH, $ when compared with RVH-LDH, ^ when compared with RVH-MDH, and % when compared with RVH-HDH.
