Figure 3

ROS production in the brainstem of SHRSP, SHR, WKY and SP.MES. ROS production in the brainstem was quantified by the lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence method as described in Methods.

Numbers of rats used were 7 PM0, 5 SHR, 4 WKY and 5 SP.MES. *Significantly different when compared with SHRSP. †Significantly different from the baseline level [i.e., NADPH (−) and Apo (−)]. #Significantly different when compared with the level under NADPH (+).The Bonferroni’s post-hoc test was applied for the analyses. Apo; apocynin, RLU; relative light unit.
