Influence of 10-(6-plastoquinonyl) decyltriphenylphosphonium on free-radical homeostasis in the heart and blood serum of rats with streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia

Figure 2 The superoxide dismutase specific activity, E/mg protein in the rats' hearts, and the blood serum during the development of experimental hyperglycemia. A: The superoxide dismutase (SOD) specific activity, E/mg protein in the rats' hearts during the development of experimental hyperglycemia; B: The SOD specific activity, E/mg protein in the blood serum during the development of experimental hyperglycemia. 1: Control group; 2: Animals with experimental hyperglycemia mellitus induced by streptozotocin; 3: 10-(6-plastoquinonyl) decyltriphenylphosphonium (SkQ1) is administered to animals at pathology; 4: SkQ1 is administered to animals at control group. ^aP ≤ 0.0167 compared with control; ^bP ≤ 0.0167 compared with pathology. SkQ1: 10-(6-plastoquinonyl) decyltriphenylphosphonium.
