Notes: Cardiac reduced glutathione (GSH) in lM relative to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in lM. Malonyldialdehyde (MDA) is expressed as mg/per mg total protein. Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are in pg/mL. Data are presented as means 6 standard error of the mean; n = 12 per group.
