Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation. Lipid peroxidation, obtained by measurement of TBARS, increased similarly in both infarcted groups (I and I + PY) t when compared to the S group (A). Protein oxidation, obtained by measurement of carbonyl groups (carbonyls) was significantly higher in the I group when compared to S group. However, in the I + PY group carbonyls were significantly lower when compared to I group, reaching values similar to those of the S group. (B). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs Sham; # P < 0.05 vs I (n = 7) for each group, (two-way ANOVA test with Tukey as post hoc).
