Values are means ± SE; n =3. Experiments were repeated twice, and an average for each rat was obtained. Ratio was defined as after-treatment (24 h) values divided by before-treatment (time 0) values. There were no significant differences between ratio values of treated animals compared with control untreated animals. β-Lap, β-lapachone.
