Aging Increases Susceptibility to High Fat Diet-Induced Metabolic Syndrome in C57BL/6 Mice: Improvement in Glycemic and Lipid Profile after Antioxidant Therapy

Figure 5

Markers of redox state in liver. Hepatic lipid peroxidation ([TBARS] nMmg protein⁻¹) in young (a) and old (b) C57BL/6 mice. Total superoxide dismutase activity (SOD: UIprotein⁻¹, mg) in young (c) and old (d) C57BL/6 mice. Catalase activity (µmol/min/mLprotein⁻¹, mg) in young C57BL/6 (e) and old mice (f). Each bar graph represents the mean ± SEM. ANOVA (one-way) with Bonferroni’s post hoc test: ; , CT versus HF ( = 5-6).
