Table 2.
Amounts of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD) protein fraction, as mean ± SEM (in mg/g of liver mass) in both control (Ctrl) and exposed (Exp) groups of rats aged of 1, 9, and 21 of their postnatal days (PND) (P-value <0.05 (∗) represents a significant change in results for exposed vs. control group).
| Group | Age | N | SOD mitochondrial protein fraction (mg/g of liver mass) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ctrl | PND1 | 18 | 1.02 ± 0.22 |
| Exp | PND1 | 12 | 0.35 ± 0.08 |
| Ctrl | PND9 | 12 | 0.66 ± 0.08 |
| Exp | PND9 | 12 | 0.40 ± 0.05 |
| Ctrl | PND21 | 24 | 2.83 ± 0.40 |
| Exp | PND21 | 18 | 0.93 ± 0.09∗ |
