Table 1.

Relative volume (control/treated) (%) of the brain, heart, azygos vein, in rats at 15 min and 90 min, and 180 min following sotalol application. Therapy included BPC 157 (10 μg/kg or 10 ng/kg) or saline (5 mL/kg). They were given as an intragastric administration at 5 min following sotalol for assessment at 15 min (period 0–15 min sotalol-time), 90 min (period 0–90 min sotalol-time) and 180 min (period 0–180 min sotalol-time). As a delayed regimen (period 90–180 min sotalol-time), the therapy was given as an intragastric administration at 90 min sotalol-time for assessment at 180 min sotalol-time. Means ± SD, * p ˂ 0.05, at least, vs. control.
