Effect of hypoxia on myocardial malondialdehyde levels and the ratio of interleukin-10/tumor necrosis factor-α. Concentrations of malondialdehyde (a) and the IL-10/TNF-α ratio (b) were assessed in LV preparations from SHR a SHR-mtBN rats kept in normoxic (empty bars) and hypoxic (hatched bars) conditions. Data represent means  (±SEM) of at least five separate experiments. ⁺ p < 0.05 SHR vs. SHR/H rats; ^# p < 0.05 SHR-mtBN vs. SHR-mtBN/H rats
