  1. Male Sprague-Dawley rats three months old were allocated into three different groups. Either peroxynitrite (0.5 ml/kg BW of 30 mmol solution) or SNP (10 mg/kg BW) in a volume of 100 μl were administrated in bolus in systemic circulation. The control group received physiological saline solution at the same volume. All procedures were carried out as described in Methods. Asterisk: significantly different from the control (p < 0.05).
