Figure 2. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and apocynin (Apo) restored the endothelium-dependent relaxation in aorta from low-protein-fed rats.

Figure 2

Concentration-response curves to acetylcholine were obtained in aortas from rats fed an isocaloric normal-protein (NP) (A) or low-protein (LP) (B) diets supplemented with taurine (T) in drinking water (C, D). Values represent the mean ± SEM. The number of rats included in each group is indicated into parenthesis in the figure. 2-way ANOVA:Figure 2B showed significant main effects of SOD/Apo and acetylcholine. Bonferroni post-test (p<0.05): * vs. LP.
