Table 7.
Measurement of superoxide dismutase (SOD) relative activity in μmol/min/mg of protein (as mean ± SEM) in the cytosolic fraction of hepatic tissues, in both control (Ctrl) and exposed (Exp) groups of female 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 relative cytosolic activity (μmol/min/mg of protein) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ctrl | PND1 | 19 | 5.36 ± 1.15 |
| Exp | PND1 | 24 | 2.78 ± 0.31∗ |
| Ctrl | PND9 | 28 | 231.35 ± 17.51 |
| Exp | PND9 | 32 | 369.98 ± 36.01∗ |
| Ctrl | PND21 | 18 | 10.09 ± 1.65 |
| Exp | PND21 | 18 | 12.76 ± 1.61 |
