Table 3.
Amounts of cytosolic 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 cytosolic protein fraction (mg/g of liver mass) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ctrl | PND1 | 24 | 0.030 ± 0.002 |
| Exp | PND1 | 30 | 0.040 ± 0.002 |
| Ctrl | PND9 | 24 | 0.020 ± 0.003 |
| Exp | PND9 | 24 | 0.062 ± 0.009∗ |
| Ctrl | PND21 | 24 | 0.030 ± 0.006 |
| Exp | PND21 | 24 | 0.071 ± 0.007∗ |
