Effect of SN on antioxidants and MDA level in homogenized skin tissues.
| Animal groups | SOD (U/mg protein) | CAT (um mol/min/mg protein) | MDA (nmol/mg protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 3.48 ± 0.35c | 23.39 ± 1.60c | 8.32 ± 1.24c |
| B | 9.20 ± 0.29a | 46.30 ± 1.45a | 2.50 ± 0.32a |
| C | 6.35 ± 0.11b | 38.50 ± 1.38 b | 3.41 ± 0.34 b |
| D | 8.51 ± 0.25a | 39.30 ± 2.73 b | 2.63 ± 0.20a |
Data is shown as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Numbers shared letters within each column are non-significant at P < 0.05. A, Vehicle rats had topically Gum acacia; B, rats received Intrasite gel (reference); C and D, rats received topically 0.2 ml of 30 and 60 mg/ml of SN, respectively.
