Table 2. Effect of nicorandil with or without glibenclamide co-administration on N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), histamine and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from rats with cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced toxicity.
Groups | NAG(μmol p-nitrophenol/min/mg protein) | Histamine(μg/mg protein) | LTC4(μg/mg protein) |
---|---|---|---|
Normal | 15.84 ± 1.32 | 77.79 ± 8.31 | 3.18 ± 0.27 |
CP | 33.54 ± 2.01 a | 159.63 ± 8.91 a | 9.45 ± 0.72 a |
CP + nicorandil | 23.67 ± 1.68 ab | 68.85 ± 6.36 b | 5.28 ± 0.63 b |
CP + nicorandil + glibenclamide | 26.97 ± 1.86 a | 174.81 ± 10.83 a | 11.88 ± 0.51 a |
Each value represents the mean of 5–8 experiments ± S.E.M. ap < 0.05 vs. normal, bp < 0.05 vs. CP.
