Figure 6.
Changes in antioxidative enzyme activities and level of oxidative DNA damage in benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)-induced lung cancer mouse model by carboplatin or hyperoxia treatment. The levels of (A) superoxide dismutase (SOD), (B) glutathione (GSH), and (C) catalase activity as the antioxidant enzymes were measured in the total lung homogenate from mice in each groups. (D) 8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), which has been regarded as a potential marker of oxidative DNA damage was also assayed in lung tissue. Values are expressed as mean ± SE. CON, control group; CAR, carboplatin group; H, hyperoxia group. ap < 0.05 compared with the B[a]P + CON group.
