Values are means ± SD of 6 rats from each group. CON—control rats; FRU—fructose-fed rats; FRU + CAR—fructose-fed rats treated with carnitine; CON + CAR—control rats treated with carnitine. NP-SH—nonprotein thiol; T-SH—total thiol; P-SH—protein bound thiol; (a)Significant as compared to CON (P < .05; ANOVA followed by DMRT). (b)Significant as compared to FRU (P < .05; ANOVA followed by DMRT). (A)(μmol/mg protein); (B)(μg/mg protein).
