Panel A: Effect of API on GSH and TSH levels in the testes, epididymis, and hypothalamus of AFB₁-exposed rats. AFB₁, 50 µg/kg; AFB₁ + SBE-05-D1, 0.05 + 5 mg/kg; AFB₁ + SBE-5-D2, 0.05 + 10 mg/kg; AFB₁ + SBE-06-D1, 0.05 + 5 mg/kg; AFB₁ + SBE-06-D2, 0.05 + 10 mg/kg; AFB₁ + SBE-07-D1, 0.05 + 5 mg/kg; and AFB₁ + SBE-07-D2, 0.05 + 10 mg/kg. Panel B: The effect of API on testis, epididymal, and hypothalamic activities of XO n AFB₁—rats similarly treated as indicated above. All values are expressed as mean (SD) for six rats per group. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)

ns: not significant; GSH: glutathione-S-transferase; TSH: total sulfhydryl groups; XO: xanthine oxidase.

*Values differ significantly from control (p < 0.05).

**Values differ significantly from AFB₁ alone (p < 0.05).
