Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

In order to study the contribution of oxidant stress to the pathogenesis of experimental diabetic retinopathy, male streptozotocin diabetic Lewis rats were treated nicanartine (80 mg/kg) by oral supplementation for 6 months

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Nicanartine concentration dependently reduced LPO and H2O2 production already at a concentration of 1 uM, whereas LC and LM amplified CL and WB-CL were not affected. EROD and END were concentration dependently diminished starting at 1 uM, and ECOD already at 0.1 uM.
