Glucotoxicity Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation In Vivo and In Vitro in Psammomys obesus: Involvement of Aqueous Extract of Brassica rapa rapifera

Table 3

Changes of redox states in blood (sera and erythrocytes) in Psammomys obesus submitted to hyperglucidic diet (30% sucrose for 9 months). Effect of aqueous extract of Brassica rapa (AEBr) at 100 mg/kg for 20 consecutive days.

Redox states	Blood	Control	HGD	Control + AEBr	HGD + AEBr
Catalase (UI min^−1 mg^−1 of protein)	Sera	0.86 ± 0.24	0.23 ± 0.14	0.96 ± 0.34	1.22 ± 0.05
	Erythrocytes	1.3 ± 0.13	0.89 ± 0.1	1.33 ± 0.03	21.78 ± 2.55
TBARs (µM)	Sera	36.4 ± 2.65	46.7 ± 2.01	35.9 ± 1.65	39.5 ± 1.7
	Erythrocytes	43.5 ± 0.7	53.8 ± 1.6	41.5 ± 0.17	43.8 ± 0.57

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (S.D); (). Po: Psammomys obesus, HGD: hyperglucidic diet, and HGD + AEBr: hyperglucidic diet treated with aqueous extract of Brassica rapa. denotes a statistical difference; statistically different.
