Antioxidant enzymatic activity : Effects of early adolescence intraperitoneal administration of B[a]P to Wistar rats on Glutathione system (a) Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) in nmol CDNB conjugate formed/min/mg protein, (b) Glutathione Reductase (GR), and (c) Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in nmol NADPH oxidised/min/mg protein in Hippocampus of adult Wistar rats in naive, control (DMSO), B[a]P treated groups (0.1 μM/10 μl) and B[a]P (1 μM/10 μl).
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6. ‘a’ denotes p < 0.05 when compared to naïve group, ‘b’ denotes p < 0.05 when compared to control (DMSO) group and ‘c’ denotes p < 0.05 when compared to B[a]P (0.1 ⁎μM).
