Candesartan Mediated Amelioration of Cisplatin-Induced Testicular Damage Is Associated with Alterations in Expression Patterns of Nephrin and Podocin

Figure 5

Oxidative stress status in the testes from rats following treatment with cisplatin and/or candesartan. (a) Representative findings on immunofluorescent staining of carbonylated protein in the rat testes. (b) Carbonylated protein signal intensities in (a) were quantified by Image J software and the ratio of each group over Group 1 was presented in histogram format. (c) Homogenized testicular specimens were prepared and analyzed for SOD activity. Each column represents the mean value with standard deviation. ^†, , and differ from Group 1, Group 3, and Group 5, respectively ().
