Figure 2. M. tuberculosis infection of guinea pigs results in decreased serum antioxidant capacity.
The graph illustrates systemic mean (± SD) total antioxidant levels in serum of Mtb-infected guinea pigs that are either saline vaccinated (control) or BCG vaccinated (n = 5). The mean total antioxidant level in serum of naïve guinea pigs is 0.211±0.042 mM (n = 5).
