Blueberry Extracts Protect Testis from Hypobaric Hypoxia Induced Oxidative Stress in Rats
Figure 2
Effect of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia and BB-4 on (a) lipid peroxidation (TBARS) (nmol/mg protein), (b) glutathione reductase (GR) activity (U/mg protein), (c) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and (d) glutathione reductase protein expression. Rats were submitted to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) or normobaric (Nx) conditions, with or without treatment of blueberry extract (BB-4). PS: rats treated with physiological NaCl solution. Experiment: 32-day treatment. Bars indicate the mean ± SD . * (HH versus Nx control); ** (HH+BB-4 versus HH control).
