Effects of gentamycin induced testicular damage and pioglitazone treatment on tissue activities of glutathione peroxidase and catalase in different groups.

Group Variable (Mean ± SEM)	GI (n = 10)	GII (n = 10)	GIII (n = 10)	GIV (n = 10)	GV (n = 10)
CAT (u/gm)	3.24 ± 0.11 bcde	2.17 ± 0.03 ade	2.21 ± 0.02 ae	2.95 ± 0.05 abce	2.67 ± 0.04 abcd

GI: CTL, normal control, GII: GM, gentamycin induced testicular damage, GIII: PIO 5 pioglitazone treated (5 mg/kg/day), GIV: PIO 10 pioglitazone treated (10 mg/kg/day) and GV: PIO 20 pioglitazone treated (20 mg/kg/day). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, (^a) compared to control group (GI), (^b) compared to GM treated group (GII), (^c) compared to PIO 5 (GIII) group, (^d) compared to PIO 10 (G IV) group, (^e) compared to PIO 20 (GV) group.
