Catalase activity (μmol H2O2 min−1·mg protein−1) was determined in rat brain crude synaptosomal/mitochondrial fractions from ethanol-naïve rats and expressed as mean ± SEM. For each strain of rat, brains were isolated from two developmental stages preadolescent rats were postnatal age 25–28 days (P25–28), and adult rats were P75 or greater. There were no significant differences between strains or developmental stages.
