Quantification of superoxide dismutase (mean ± SEM, normalized for beta actin [SOD]) protein isoforms in pancreas
CTL | DM | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
CuZnSOD | 13.3 ± 0.43 | 14.5 ± 0.85 | 0.20 |
MnSOD | 448,210 ± 29,335 | 441,600 ± 53,543 | 0.91 |
Pancreatic levels of SOD isoforms were not different between control and type 2 diabetic monkeys. Measurements are in arbitrary densitometric units, corrected for actin
