---|---|---|---|---|
SOD | 13.7 ± 0.10a | 9.35 ± 4.29b | 11.4 ± 0.11c | 14.5 ± 0.08a |
CAT | 46.3 ± 5.5a | 28.7 ± 4.5b | 42.5 ± 4.9c | 47.8 ± 3.8a |
GPx | 7.37 ± 0.30a | 5.56 ± 0.18b | 6.68 ± 0.41c | 7.24 ± 0.32a |
GST | 7.19 ± 0.39a | 4.35 ± 0.34b | 5.38 ± 0.27c | 7.33 ± 0.36a |
GR | 0.52 ± 0.07a | 0.32 ± 0.06b | 0.42 ± 0.04c | 0.56 ± 0.07a |
Values are given as mean ± SD for eight rats in each group. Values with different superscript letters (a–c) in the same column differ significantly at P < 0.05 (Duncan’s multiple range test)
SOD one unit of enzyme activity was defined as the enzyme reaction that gave 50% inhibition of NBT reduction per minute/mg protein, CAT μmol of H2O2 consumed/min/mg protein, GPX μmol of GSH consumed/min/mg protein, GST μmol of CDNB-GSH conjugate formed/min/mg protein, GR μmol of NADPH oxidized/min/mg protein
