Plasma GSH/GSSH and MDA levels after 48 h of infusion in rats

Treatment	n	GSH/GSSH	p value (vs SAL)	MDA (nmol/l)	p value (vs SAL)
SAL	6	52.1 ± 3.6	–	0.0156 ± 0.0012	–
OLE	6	14.8 ± 1.4	<0.01	0.0213 ± 0.0037	NSa
OLE + APO	6	53.0 ± 5.4	NS	0.0126 ± 0.0001	NS
APO	5	57.3 ± 4.9	NS	0.0166 ± 0.0002	NS

Data are means ± SEM

Rats were treated for 48 h with: saline (SAL); oleate (OLE, 1.3 μmol/min), to elevate plasma NEFA 1.5- to twofold; oleate + apocynin (OLE + APO, 1.3 μmol/min + 0.5 μmol kg⁻¹ min⁻¹, respectively) or apocynin (APO, 0.5 μmol kg⁻¹ min⁻¹)
