Gingival periodontal disease level-butyric acid (BA) induces oxidative stress in different regions of the brain organ. Quantification of brain (A) total heme, (B) NADPH, (C) hydrogen peroxide, (D) glutathione reductase, and (E) free fatty acid amounts are indicated. Results shown are mean ± SE utilizing independent brain samples (hippocampus, pineal gland, hypothalamus, cerebrum, and cerebellum) of 10-week-old Wistar male rats (n = 6). Control and BA-treated (12 h post-treatment) rats were used. Statistical analyses were performed using Anderson–Darling normality test and, if passed (p > 0.05), Student’s t-test (**p < 0.01). Percent difference between control and BA-treated rats are labeled.
