Fig. 2From: Acute administration of beta-caryophyllene prevents endocannabinoid system activation during transient common carotid artery occlusion and reperfusionHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography–atmospheric pressure chemical ionization–mass spectrometry analysis of plasma of sham-operated and bilateral common carotid artery occlusion followed by reperfusion (BCCAO/R) vehicle and BCP pre-treated rats. a Arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA), (b) 2-arachidonoylglycerol and (c) lipoperoxide concentrations are reported as mean values of 12 vehicle -either sham or BCCAO/R- rats and 10 BCP pre-treated -either sham or BCCAO/R- rats. Error bars depict the standard error of mean (S.E.M.). Asterisks denote significant differences. Two-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni’s test for post-hoc analyses was applied to evaluate statistical differences between groups. P values < 0.05 were considered significant (refer to Table 1 for F and p values relevant to effects of BCCAO/R and BCP treatment and to interaction between them)Back to article page
