From: Regulation of lung oxidative damage by endogenous superoxide dismutase in sepsis
Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) alterations early after sepsis induction. The animals were submitted to sepsis or sham-operated, and 3 h (A), 6 h (B), and 12 h (C) after surgery, the immunocontent of SOD2 was evaluated. The sod2 gene expression was evaluated at 3 h (D), 6 h (E), and 12 h (F) after surgery. The data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = ten animals/group). p value < 0.05 was considered significant when compared to the control.
