Fig. 6. E2 treatment increases lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation in the uterus.

Fig. 6

Ovariectomized female mice were treated with oil or E2. (A) Lipid peroxidation and (B) protein carbonylation were assessed as described in Materials and Methods. Significant increases in the levels of lipid peroxidation (**, p<0.01) and protein carbonylation (*, p<0.05) were observed in the E2-treated mice. Seven mice were included in the oil- and E2-treated groups as indicated at the base of each treatment group bar. (C) The spectrum of carbonylated proteins in whole cell uterine extracts from oil- and E2-treated mice was examined by Western blot analysis. GAPDH served as a loading control.
