Influence of Melatonin on Cerebrovascular Proinflammatory Mediators Expression and Oxidative Stress Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rabbits

Table 1

Vascular antioxidant status of the experimental group of animals.

Groups	𝑛	MDA (nmol/g)	SOD (U/mg)	GSH-Px (U/mg)
Control	6	31.28±8.27	0.52±0.1	1.08±0.21
SAH	6	48.12±6.13 *	0.21±0.08 *	0.72±0.16 *
SAH + vehicle	6	46.21±5.07^ns	0.22±0.11^ns	0.76±0.08^ns
SAH + melatonin	6	38.07±7.1^#	0.43±0.12^##	1.02±0.31^#

In the table, arterial MDA concentrations were given per gram of wet tissue; SOD, GSH-Px enzymatic activities were given per mg/protein. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. (*𝑃<.05 and **𝑃<.01 versus Control group, ns 𝑃>.05 versus SAH group, ^#𝑃<.05 and ^##𝑃<.01 versus SAH + vehicle group).
