Protective effect of mamao pomace extract (MP) on superoxide formation in the carotid arteries of rats. The superoxide formation from carotid arteries of rats in normal control and Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)-treated rats was determined by chemiluminescence method. MP was administered at doses of 100 (MP100) and 300 (MP300) mg/kg/day. Each bar represents the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 8–10/group). * p < 0.05 vs. normal control group, # p < 0.05 vs. l-NAME control group, † p < 0.05 vs. l-NAME + MP100 group.
