Related anti-oxidant gene expression in the isolated islets of mice exposed (by gavage) to 2 mg/kg/day MeHgCl or 5 mg/kg/day HgCl2 for 2 consecutive weeks. The expression of Nrf2, GPx, and NQO1 genes was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR using SYBR Green. Target gene expression was normalized to β-actin, and the results are expressed as a fold change from the control. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. (n = 8 mice for each group). * p < 0.05 as compared with control group.
