Bladder Dysfunction in an Obese Zucker Rat: The Role of TRPA1 Channels, Oxidative Stress, and Hydrogen Sulfide

Table 1

Levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and the GSH : GSSG ratio; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities; and both SOD : CAT and SOD : GPx ratios in the bladder from the lean Zucker rat (LZR) and obese Zucker rat (OZR).

	LZR	OZR	value
GSH (nm/mg protein)			0.004
GSSG (nm/mg protein)			0.043
GSH : GSSG			<0.0001
SOD (U/min/mg protein)			0.0051
CAT (U/min/mg protein)			0.0007
GR (U/min/mg protein)			0.0317
GPx (U/min/mg protein)			0.0013
SOD : CAT ratio			0.0290
SOD : GPx ratio			0.4088
