Diethylthiocarbamate (DETC) decreases superoxide dismutase (SOD) and increases renin activity in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. SOD (A) and renin (B) activities in the renal tissues of rats treated with and without DETC and tempol were measured by commercially available kits as described in materials and methods. Bar graphs represent results as mean ± SE; n = 7–8 rats. *Different from control rats. #Different from DETC rats. P < 0.05, n = 7–8 rats.
