Effect of Hemin on Brain Alterations and Neuroglobin Expression in Water Immersion Restraint Stressed Rats

Table 2

Effect of 6-hour water immersion restraint stress (WIRS) with or without hemin on brain oxidative state in male albino rats.

Parameters	Groups
	Control	WIRS	WIRS + hemin
Brain MDA; (pg/mg tissue)	3.5 ± 0.2	6.2 ± 0.07	3.8 ± 0.1
Brain TAC; (M/mg tissue)	7.2 ± 0.3	4.2 ± 0.2	6.9 ± 0.2

MDA: malondialdehyde and TAC: total antioxidant capacity. Significant difference from the control group and significant difference from the WIRS group, . Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of 10 rats in each group.
