Effects of avocado oil (AO) or prazosin (PZS) on mitochondrial oxidative stress in kidney of hypertensive (HT) rats. (A) ROS levels in isolated mitochondria fueled in the complex I of the electron transport chain with glutamate/malate. (B) Reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) in isolated kidney mitochondria. The data are expressed as the mean ± s.e. of n ≥ 3. Statistical significances: # p > 0.05 vs. CTRL; § p < 0.05 vs. CTRL+AO; ¶ p < 0.05 vs. HT (One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test).
