Content of nitrite and nitrate anions in blood and liver.
| Blood (µmol/L) | Liver (µmol/kg) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NO2− | NO3− | NO2− | NO3− | |
| Control | 1.17 ± 0.06 | 10.21 ± 0.07 | 2.19 ± 0.15 | 8.77 ± 0.26 |
| CCl4 | 3.18 ± 0.26 | 8.36 ± 0.18 | 1.80 ± 0.18 | 6.79 ± 0.24 |
| p < 0.005 | p < 0.005 | p > 0.05 | p < 0.01 | |
| CCl4/melatonin | 1.98 ± 0.17 | 5.92 ± 0.05 | 1.88 ± 0.07 | 9.01 ± 0.45 |
| p < 0.01 | p < 0.005 | p > 0.05 | p > 0.05 | |
| p1 < 0.01 | p1 < 0.005 | p1 > 0.05 | p1 < 0.01 | |
Notes: the results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 12); significantly differences: p – versus control; p1 – versus CCl4 group. NO2 – nitrites; NO3 – nitrates.
