Effects of lactational exposure to CrIII on SOD and catalase in the plasma and the ovary of F1 offspring. Experimental details are described under Materials and methods. SOD and catalase were measured in plasma and whole ovary extracts from rats that were exposed to CrVI through mother’s milk between PND 1 and 21. SOD in (A) plasma and (B) ovary and catalase in (C) plasma and (D) ovary of PND 25, PND 45, and PND 65 rats exposed to CrIII lactationally through mother’s milk. CrIII treatment decreased SOD and catalase in plasma and ovary of F1 offspring in a dose-dependent manner, and vitamin C mitigated or inhibited the effects of CrIII. aControl vs CrVI; bCrVI vs CrVI+vitamin C. Each value represents the mean±SEM of 20 rats, P<0.05.
