Maternal separation with early weaning (MSEW) induced aortic superoxide production and endothelial dysfunction in adult male mice without affecting plasma total antioxidant capacity, plasma SOD activity, or plasma nitrite + nitrate levels (NOx). A: PEG-SOD-inhibitable superoxide production by aortae from control (n = 4) and MSEW (n = 4) mice. *P = 0.002. B: aortic relaxation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) in presence of vehicle (VEH) or PEG-SOD (100 U/ml). Refer to Table 2 for statistical analyses (n = 5–7 per group). *P < 0.05 vs. control VEH, †P < 0.05 vs. MSEW PEG-SOD. C: aortic relaxation in response to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in the presence of vehicle (VEH) or PEG-SOD (100 U/ml). Refer to Table 2 for statistical analyses (n = 5–7 per group). D: total antioxidant capacity of plasma from control (n = 19) and MSEW (n = 17) mice. E: plasma SOD activity in plasma from control (n = 6) and MSEW (n = 6) mice. F: NOx levels in plasma from control (n = 12) and MSEW (n = 12) mice.
