(a) The effects of rimonabant treatment on cardiac HO-1 concentration in aged animals (HO-1 expressed as pg/mg protein). Results are shown as means S.E.M. n = 4–7. * p < 0.05: Statistical significance between rimonabant-treated and untreated, sex-matched aging rats, RIMO = rimonabant, HO-1 = heme oxygenase-1. (b) The effects of rimonabant treatment on cardiac HO activity in aged animals. (HO; expressed as nmol bilirubin/h/mg protein). Results are shown as means ± S.E.M. n = 4–7. RIMO = rimonabant, HO = heme oxygenase.
