Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Two-way ANOVA variance analysis and Tukey post hoc multiple comparison test were applied (aP<0.05 different from control group; bP<0.05 different from sham group; cP<0.05 different from ischemia/reperfusion (IR) group; dP<0.05 different from IR/olive oil group; eP<0.05 different from IR+ 2.5 mg/kg lycopene group).
