Repeated Cycles of Binge-Like Ethanol Intake in Adolescent Female Rats Induce Motor Function Impairment and Oxidative Damage in Motor Cortex and Liver, but Not in Blood

Figure 5

Effects of adolescent binge-ethanol paradigm on the oxidative enzymatic (catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) and nonenzymatic (thiol groups) activities in blood of female rats. Oxidative biochemical of catalase (a) and SOD activities (b) after binge-like ethanol administration, both illustrated as % of control. (c) The content of thiol (% of control) after binge-like ethanol administration in adolescent female rats is shown. Results are mean ± SEM of rats per group. , , and vs. age-matched control; and vs. ethanol-treated after 1 binge-like cycle, all assessed using a Fisher-LSD test after two-way ANOVA.
