Modulation of Hippocampal Antioxidant Defense System in Chronically Stressed Rats by Lithium
Figure 5
Effects of lithium on enzyme activity from CuZn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) (a), Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD2) (b), catalase (CAT) (c), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (d), and glutathione reductase (GR) (e) in the hippocampus of animals exposed to CRS. The values are of 10 rats. Statistical significance: , , and animals exposed to CRS+Li vs. CRS animals (-test). The final result for enzyme activity was expressed as units per milligram of protein (U/mg).
