Oxidative variables. TBARS. The thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) was evaluated in the hippocampus (a) and cortex (b), during the treatment with dexamethasone (0.7 mg/kg/1 day or 0.2 mg/kg/7 days). Values are expressed as mean ± SD ( for each group). *Different from sham (), **different from sham with dexamethasone.
