Dihydroethidium oxidation (DHE, xanthine oxidase Eq. U·μg protein−1) and 4-hyroxynonenal adducts (4HNE, protein content arbitrary units) in skeletal muscle homogenate from two shrew species (pooled means ± SE from forelimb/hindlimb data). Black bars represent data from adult shrews (DHE: n=7 WS, n=9 STS; 4HNE: n=8 WS, n=8 STS), and gray bars represent juvenile data (DHE: n=10 WS, n=6 STS; 4HNE: n=9 WS, n=7 STS). LSD post-hoc tests revealed a significant species effects for DHE in adults (P=0.016) and 4HNE (P<0.001 for both cohorts), which are indicated with `**'.
