Figure 5. Effect of amifostine on the enzyme activities of SOD and catalse and their expression in lung tissue.

Figure 5

Mice were pretreated with vehicle (PBS) or amifostine for 3 days followed by ventilation at HTV. A and B - Measurements of SOD (A) or catalase (B) activity. Data are presented as mean ± SD; n=4-6 mice per each dose group; *p<0.05, **p<0.01. C - Protein expression of SOD2 and catalase in control and amifostine-preconditioned lungs was analyzed by western blot of tissue samples. The expression levels of each protein was quantified by densitometry and normalized to β-tubulin signal. Tissue samples are presented in duplicates. Results shown as mean±SD; n=6 for each group; *p<0.05.
