Table 2.
Changes in MDA content and total cholesterol levels in the kidney tissue of normal control, alcohol treated, diabetic control, diabetic + alcohol treated rats
| Parameter | Normal control | Alcohol treated | Diabetic control (STZ) | Diabetic + alcohol treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDAa | 45.6667 ± 3.9168 | 61.33* ± 4.700 (+34.307) | 72.3750* ± 3.6116 (+58.487) | 80.792* ± 5.256 (+76.919) |
| Total cholesterolb | 77.6720 ± 2.8997 | 101.005* ± 2.351 (+30.040) | 104.8133* ± 3.5583 (+34.943) | 111.477* ± 3.034 (+43.522) |
All the values are mean ± SD of six individual observations,
a
Values are expressed in μ moles of malondialdehyde formed per gram wet weight of the tissue
b
Values are expressed in mg of total cholesterol per gram wet weight of the tissue. Values in the parentheses denote percent change over normal control
*
Significant at P < 0.001 with Normal control.
