Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) immunocontent and gene expression after sepsis induction by CLP. Three times, 3 h (a), 6 h (b) and 12 h (c), after sepsis, the renal arteries were isolated, and the content of SOD1 was quantified by immunoblot. Representative western blots show samples from shams in the first bands and samples from sepsis in the last bands, represented in equal number. The densitometric analysis quantification is depicted in bar graphs. Gene expression of SOD1 was measured by RT-PCR, with b-actin as control, 6 h (d) after the induction of sepsis. The results are expressed as optical densitometry for the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 6 animals each group). *p < 0.05 compared to the sham group
