Table 3

Changes of lactic acid dehydrogenase activity and protein carbonyl content in splenic tissue of gerbils infected with B. divergens (𝑛=8).

	Lactic acid dehydrogenase activity; (U/g protein)	Protein carbonyl content; (nmol/g protein)
Noninfected	168.99 ± 6.76	3.83 ± 0.12
Infected	312.91 ± 5.92*	17.40 ± 1.95*

Values are means ± SD. *Significant change at 𝑃≤0.05 with respect to the noninfected control group.
