Bixin and Norbixin Have Opposite Effects on Glycemia, Lipidemia, and Oxidative Stress in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 4

Oxidative stress parameters of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: AOPP levels (a), nitric oxide levels (b), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (c), and catalase activity (CAT) activity (d). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (𝑛=6 per group). ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test: ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus nondiabetic control; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus diabetic vehicle. BIX 10: 10 mg/kg bixin; BIX 100: 100 mg/kg bixin; NBIX 10: 10 mg/kg norbixin; NBIX 100: 100 mg/kg norbixin.
