Concentration of Glutathione: Effects of early adolescence intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of B[a]P to Wistar rats on total glutathione level (a) Concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) in μmol/gm tissue, (b) Concentration of oxidised glutathione (GSSG) in μmol/gm tissue, (c) Redox ratio (GSH/GSSG), (d) Oxidative stress index (OSI) 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).
