Figure 1. The molecular findings for glutathione reductase-1 and glyoxalase-1 levels. A) Western blots from three nervous system areas showing the expression of glyoxalase-1, glutathione reductase-1, and the structural protein beta-actin used as a control between groups. B) Glyoxalase-1 levels in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and striatum were similar between the hypoxia (n=13) and control groups (n=6); C) Glutathione reductase-1 levels were 42% higher in the cerebral cortex of animals exposed to intermittent hypoxia.
