Supplementation of T3 Recovers Hypothyroid Rat Liver Cells from Oxidatively Damaged Inner Mitochondrial Membrane Leading to Apoptosis

Figure 2

Effect of PTU-induced hypothyroidism and its reversal by upon oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins. (a) Protein carbonyl content in submitochondrial particles. (b) Protein carbonyl content in mitochondrial matrix fraction isolated from liver of rats. Data are means ± S.D. of five animals/group. Statistical significance is denoted by compared to euthyroid rats; compared to hypothyroid rats.
