Figure 2From: Inhibition of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 by Oxidative Stress Is Associated with Cardiac Dysfunction in Diabetic RatsReactive oxygen species (ROS) production in isolated rat hearts from control (Con), untreated diabetic (Dia), diabetic treated with NAC (NAC) and diabetic treated with α-LA (α-LA) rats. Intracellular ROS levels were determined by measuring the fluorescence of DCF with FACS (excitation 488 nm, emission 530 nm). *P < 0.05 versus control group; **P < 0.05 versus diabetic group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of the geometric mean fluorescence (n = 6–8).Back to article page
