Figure 3. Effects of 5-HT on the activities of SOD and GSH-PX and on the MDA content in the hypothalamus.

Figure 3

The total hypothalamic activities of SOD (T-SOD) and GSH-Px, as well as the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, were determined using colorimetric assays. (A–B) Hypothalamic total SOD activity. n = 8–12 per group. (C–D) Hypothalamic GSH-PX activity. n = 8–12 per group. (E–F) Hypothalamic MDA content. n = 8–12 per group. Data are expressed as the means ± SEM. *, 0.01<p<0.05, vs. the control.
