Baccharis trimera (Carqueja) Improves Metabolic and Redox Status in an Experimental Model of Type 1 Diabetes

Figure 1

Effect of Baccharis trimera hydroethanolic extract on mRNA expression of liver catalase (a) and its activity (b); on mRNA expression of liver Zn-SOD (c), Mn-SOD (d), and its activity (e) in the livers of rats. C: control group; C600: treated control with 600 mg/Kg of extract; C1200: treated control with 1200 mg/Kg of extract; D: non treated diabetic group; D600: treated diabetic with 600 mg/Kg of extract; D1200: treated diabetic with 1200 mg/Kg of extract. Values are expressed as means ± SEM. The statistical analysis was performed between the groups: C x C600; C x C1200; C x D; D x D600; D x D1200. () = p < 0.001; () = p < 0.01; () = p < 0.05.
