Endogenous n-3 FA and CR enhance muscle anti-oxidant enzymes activity: After 5 months of dietary intervention, muscle homogenates were prepared and used to determine the activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) as described in materials and methods section. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM (n = 8–10/group). Value with different superscripts are significantly different at p < 0.05 by Newman-Keuls’ one way ANOVA. WT/AL, wild type ad libitum; WT/CR, wild type calorie restriction; Fat-1/AL, Fat-1 transgenic ad libitum; Fat-1/CR, Fat-1 transgenic calorie restriction.
