Table 1.
Concentration of nitrite in the blood plasma and aorta from the SG, SG50, SG150, and SG500 groups.
| Groups | Nitrite (μM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma | Aorta | |
| SG | 54 ± 11 | 28 ± 6 |
| SG50 | 59 ± 8 | 31 ± 10 |
| SG150 | 70 ± 7∗# | 43 ± 6∗ |
| SG500 | 88 ± 7∗#† | 71 ± 7∗#† |
The values represent the mean and S.D., respectively (n = 5 indicates the number of samples per treatment). Sedentary saline group (SG) and sedentary groups supplemented with S. platensis at 50 mg/kg (SG50), 150 mg/kg (SG150), and 500 mg/kg (SG500). Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's posttest, ∗p < 0.05 (SG vs. groups), #p < 0.05 (SG50 vs. SG150 and SG500), †p < 0.01 (SG150 vs. SG500).
