Influence of gender and diabetes on antioxidant enzyme levels in the aorta of WKY rats / Noraihan Abd Karim
In present study, the gender differences in activities of key antioxidant in normoglycemic and diabetic rats were examined. SOD activities were significantly higher in normoglycemic female compared to male rats, while lower SOD activity was observed in diabetic female compared to male rats. Catalase...
