Table 3.

Glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels in mice exposed to cadmium chloride (CdCl₂; 2 mg/kg i.p.) plus vehicle, as compared to mice exposed to CdCl₂ (2 mg/kg i.p.) plus flavocoxid (20 mg/kg/day i.p.) or to control mice treated with vehicle or flavocoxid alone.

	GR (nmol/min per mg protein)	GPx (nmol/min per mg protein)
Control + vehicle	20.03 ± 1.12	33.42 ± 1.78
Control + flavocoxid	19.83 ± 1.04	31.64 ± 1.83
CdCl2 + vehicle	12.64 ± 0.63a	18.72 ± 0.87a
CdCl2 + flavocoxid	18.35 ± 1.01b	28.69 ± 1.53b

All the values are expressed as mean ± SE, n = 7 animals for each group. ^ap < 0.05 versus both controls and ^bp < 0.05 versus CdCl₂ + vehicle.
