Effects of LBW on the redox in jejunal mitochondria of newborn piglets 1.
| Item 2 | NBW 3 | LBW 4 | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDA (nmol/mg prot) | 2.20 ± 0.30 | 3.54 ± 0.67 | 0.06 |
| SOD (U/mg prot) | 48.42 ± 2.76 | 41.65 ± 1.24 | 0.03 |
| CAT (U/mg prot) | 7.78 ± 1.00 | 10.07 ± 1.19 | 0.10 |
1 Values are means ± SEM of 10 piglets per group; SEM, standard error of the mean. 2 MDA, malondialdehyde; SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; nmol/mg prot, nmol/mg protein. 3 NBW, normal birth weight. 4 LBW, low birth weight.
