Effect of Bio-tea on myocardial glycoprotein components in MI rats.
| Variable | Control | ISO Control | Tea + ISO | BT + ISO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hexose | 159.31 ± 3.70a | 201.0 ± 4.63c | 173.42 ± 5.21b | 166.88 ± 4.10a |
| Hexosamine | 5.94 ± 0.26a | 10.83 ± 0.40d | 9.55 ± 0.23c | 7.31 ±0.34b |
| Sialic acid | 45.61 ± 0.61a | 58.49 ± 1.09c | 53.55 ± 1.13b | 48.14 ±0.95a |
| Fucose | 35.67 ± 0.63a | 48.59 ± 1.13c | 43.54 ± 1.13b | 38.12 ±0.84a |
Values are mean ± standard error of the mean for six rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript differ significantly from each other (p < 0.05, Duncan's multiple range test). All the results are expressed as mg/g defatted tissue weight. BT = Bio-tea; ISO = isoproterenol.
