Effects of Ti6Al4V5Cu on the oxidative stress markers in S.aureus. (A) Activity of respiratory chain dehydrogenases analyzed by catalytic reaction using INT reagent. (B) Activity of catalase (CAT) measured by CAT activity kit. Both the two enzyme activity was inhibited in S.aureus treated with Ti6Al4V5Cu obviously with the extension of the culture tim, and reached the lowest level at 24 h. (C) Glutathione (GSH) levels were reduced and (D) Lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were enhanced significantly in comparison to blank control and Ti6Al4V group (p < 0.01). All data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. *: compared to the blank control group, #: compared to the Ti6Al4V group. One symbol, p < 0.05; Two symbols, p < 0.01.
