Oxidant-antioxidant status.

<p>The activities of the two antioxidant enzymes (A) Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and (B) Catalase (CAT) were determined in renal tissue at time point 4 weeks in the control, EG, EG+STS, EG+SC and EG+SS animal group. SOD activity was preserved with STS treatment; (C) Urinary 8-Isoprostaglandin levels were elevated in the EG-exposed animals and maintained in the normal range only in STS-treated animals. The changes and significance levels are with reference to the EG group. The data are means ± SD from 7–8 animals per group. *p< 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
