Methionine deficiency decreases the oxidative status. (A) Aconitase activity, (B) quantity of total glutathione (total GSH), reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), (C) ratio GSH/GSSG, (D) levels of protein carbonyls in liver of trout fed control diet (CTL) or deficient diet (MD) and sampled 16 h after the last meal. Levels of protein carbonyls were measured by Oxyblot. DNP-derivatized liver tissue lysates were analysed by Western blot for the presence of oxidized protein. Western blot analysis was carried out on six individual samples per treatment, and a representative blot is shown (Source data are available in Supplementary Fig. 2). Graphs show the ratio of the amount of the oxidized protein: β-tubulin (TUBB) used as a loading control. Values are means (n = 6), with standard error of the mean represented by vertical bars. *was used to indicate significant difference between treatment among the two dietary group (P < 0.05; t-test).
