Values are mean ± SD for 6 rats in each group;
a, b, c and d Values are not sharing a
common superscript letter (a, b, c and d) differ significantly at p<0.05 (DMRT).
SOD – One unit of enzyme activity was taken as the enzyme reaction, which gave
50% inhibition of NBT reduction in one minute/mg protein.
CAT – µmol of H2O2 utilized/min/mg protein.
GPx – µg of GSH consumed/min/mg protein.
GST – µmol of CDNB-GSH conjugate formed/min/mg protein
The activities of GR were expressed as nmol of NADPH oxidized/min/mg protein.
G6PD were expressed as nmol of NADPH formed/min/mg protein. |
