Fig. 6. Effect of DEHP exposure on SOD1, GPX and CAT activities in antral follicles.
Antral follicles were exposed in vitro to DMSO or DEHP (1–100μg/ml) for 96h and then collected and subjected to specific assays to measure the enzyme activities of SOD1, GPX and CAT. All values were normalized to protein level as a loading control and reported as relative fold change compared to DMSO controls. Graph represents means ± SEMs from at least three separate experiments. Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference from DMSO controls via ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD post hoc test (n=24 follicles per treatment per experiment; p≤ 0.05).
