Effects of VOO on stress oxidative parameters in rats with sub-chronic EP.
| Parameters | I | II | III | IV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOD (μgr/gr protein) | 19.98 ± 0.65 | 9.33 ± 0.02 | 14.14 ± 0.23* | 20.08 ± 0.03# |
| CAT(U/mg protein) | 90.21 ± 4.20 | 89.20 ± 4.98 | 49.90 ± 7.18* | 91.10 ± 1.05# |
| GSH (μgr/mg protein) | 170.68 ± 13.93 | 169.87 ± 13.13 | 110.96 ± 34.12* | 169.45 ± 23.67# |
| MDA (noml/g protein) | 38 ± 0.34 | 37 ± 0.45 | 61 ± 0.18* | 37 ± 0.71# |
SOD: Superoxide Dismutase/CAT: Catalase/GSH: Glutasthione/MDA: Malondialdehyde.
N = 6 in each group/Results were expressed as mean ± SEM/*P < 0.05 (significant difference compared to groups I &II)/#P < 0.05 (significant difference in comparison with group III)/I: control and received normal distilled water orally, II: received VOO (2 mL/kg). III: received EP (150 mg/kg) for 2 months, IV: Received EP, after successive administration of VOO.
