Table 2.

The mRNA expressions of CuZnSOD, MnSOD, and GPx in kidney of WKY control, honey-treated WKY, SHR control, and honey-treated SHR.

	WKY control	WKY honey	SHR control	SHR honey
CuZnSOD	1.00 ± 0.16	0.80 ± 0.10	0.19 ± 0.03	0.26 ± 0.07
MnSOD	1.00 ± 0.06	1.27 ± 0.17	0.74 ± 0.10	1.46 ± 0.33
GPx	1.00 ± 0.14	1.74 ± 0.16	0.53 ± 0.05	0.80 ± 0.10

Each group consisted of four to five rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. CuZnSOD: copper-zinc superoxide dismutase; GPx: glutathione peroxidase. The quantitative fold change in mRNA expression was determined relative to the β-actin mRNA levels in each corresponding group and calculated using the 2^−ΔΔCT method.
