CAPE protected the activity of Complex II (SDH) after 20 min and 30 min of ischemia/reperfusion by 32% and 10%, respectively, p < 0.05; however, it was no more effective after longer (40 min and 60 min) periods of ischemia/reperfusion, where the Complex II (SDH) activity had decreased obviously (Figure 8). This evidence concerns the gene SDHB and ischemia.
