GSTz enzyme activity and protein expression in control rats
Seven-week-old rats (∼200 g) were given bottled water for up to 17 weeks and were sacrificed on the last day of the indicated week time (age) point. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 6/group).
Age (wk) | 12 | 16 | 17 | 24 |
| Body weight (g) | 363 ± 20 | 407 ± 19 | 414 ± 26 | 434 ± 29 |
| Enzyme specific activity (nmol/min/mg) | 2.11 ± 0.27 | 1.68 ± 0.10a | 1.63 ± 0.07a | 1.62 ± 0.23a |
| Protein expression (relative amount) | 100 ± 25 | 99 ± 19 | 91 ± 20 | 81 ± 17 |
