Voluntary Exercise Prevents Lead-Induced Elevation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Markers in Male Rat Blood
Figure 4
Blood malondialdehyde in sedentary control and exercise groups before and after lead administrations. Seven days of lead injections (15 mg/kg body weight, ip) to the both sedentary and exercising animals caused significant raise of blood MDA (* compared to the “before lead administration” in Sed Co group, ** compared to the “before lead administration” in Ex group); in Ex animals MDA levels after the lead administrations were significantly lower than the Sed Co lead-injected animals (# compared to the “after lead administration” in the Sed Co group). The data are presented as means ± S.E.M. MDA: malondialdehyde; Sed Co: sedentary control group; Ex: exercise group.
