Effect of apocynin on superoxide fluorescence in skeletal muscle resistance arteries from AKI rats. A: isolated GA were incubated with DHE and evaluated via fluorescent microscopy in the presence and absence of apocynin (10−5 M) and ANG II (10−8 M). Results are presented as a ratio from baseline. *Significantly different vs. ANG II (P < 0.05). B: isolated GA were incubated from AKI rats and AKI rats treated with in vivo apocynin in the drinking water (15 mmol/l) between days 28 and 35; DHE fluorescence measurements were conducted at day 35 post-AKI. *Significantly different vs. AKI drinking water only control (n = 4 group, P < 0.05).
