Figure 3.
The figure shows the mean levels of LPO in the liver (nmol/mg) (A) and in the vena cava and portal vein (nmol/mL) (B,C). Samples were taken, as appropriate, from the liver tissue, vena cava blood or portal vein blood of male Wistar rats treated 15 min before surgery with 20 mg/kg SAMet diluted in 0.2 mL of saline in the groups thus indicated (sham + SAMet, IR10min + SAMet and IR2h + SAMet; blue columns) or 0.2 mL of saline exclusively in the basal groups (sham, IR10min and IR2h; red columns). (a) vs. sham, (b) vs. IR2h, and (*) vs. their respective non-treated group.
