Fig. 7From: The protective effect of apelin against water-immersion and restraint stress-induced gastric damageEffect of F13A (APJ receptor antagonist) on gastric nitrite/nitrate (NOx) content in rats subjected to water-immersion and restraint stress (WIRS). F13A (150 µg/kg) was administered into the tail vein before the application of WIRS. After 6 h of WIRS, gastric NOx content was determined as described in “Materials and methods.” The changes in gastric NOx content. The results are the mean ± SD of 10 per each groupBack to article page
