Effect of GA on the mRNA expression levels of SOD3, CAT, and GPX2 genes.

<p>Total RNA was extracted from mice liver tissues of GA-treated, CCl₄-administrated, silymarin-treated, and control group animals after sacrificed. qRT-PCR was performed for analysis of mRNA expression levels of SOD3, CAT, and GPX2. (A) qRT-PCR results for analysis of SOD3 mRNA. (B) qRT-PCR results for analysis of CAT mRNA. (C) qRT-PCR results for analysis of GPX2 mRNA. Cont, normal control; CCl₄, CCl₄ alone; Sil, CCl₄+100 mg/kg silymarin; GA25, CCl₄+25 mg/kg GA; GA50, CCl₄+50 mg/kg GA; GA100, CCl₄+100 mg/kg GA. Data are presented as the mean± SD for three independent experiments, performed in triplicate.*** Significantly different from the control at <i>p</i><0.001; ^### Significantly different from CCl₄ at <i>p</i><0.001.
