Table 3.

Effect of oral administration of lead acetate on superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, androgen receptor and caspase-3 protein expression for 60 days in male albino rats.

Groups and treatment
Control Cinnamon Lead Lead and cinnamon
SOD (μ/g) 886.3 ± 32.4a 1000.0 ± 33.5a 456.9 ± 25.4b 619.1 ± 37.6c
Catalase (μ/g) 0.24 ± 0.01a 0.26 ± 0.01a 0.15 ± 0.01b 0.19 ± 0.01c
Androgen receptor 111.2 ± 1.6a 114.5 ± 2.1a 85.6 ± 1.2b 97.8 ± 2.1c
Caspase-3 43.6 ± 1.2a 41.1 ± 0.8a 75.4 ± 3.1b 60.9 ± 2.5c

a and b indicated significant change, at P < 0.0001; a and c indicated significant change, at P < 0.0001; b and c indicated significant change, at P < 0.0001 except for SOD and catalase activities at P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively.
