Table 2 Biochemical analysis of neuron specific enolase (NSE) plasma concentration in ng/ml and caspase-3 (CS-3) levels in the brain tissue of the rats in ng/ml/mg protein, measured at the baseline (BL) and at 20 min after asphyxia in post-resuscitation period (20 PR), p between the groups. Data presented as mean ± SD

From: The influences of morphine or ketamine pre-treatment on hemodynamic, acid-base status, biochemical markers of brain damage and early survival in rats after asphyxial cardiac arrest
