Dichloroacetate Decreases Cell Health and Activates Oxidative Stress Defense Pathways in Rat Alveolar Type II Pneumocytes

Figure 3

Effect of DCA on L2 cell SOD activity. Cells were exposed to DCA at concentrations of 0, 8, 16, and 24 mM. SOD activity at 8, 16, and 24 hr DCA exposure was pooled and that average value normalized to baseline SOD levels (0 mM DCA) and mean ± S.D. is shown. = 33–36. Columns with no shared superscripts are significantly different ().
