Regular and Moderate Exercise Counteracts the Decline of Antioxidant Protection but Not Methylglyoxal-Dependent Glycative Burden in the Ovary of Reproductively Aging Mice

Figure 2

Ovarian total glutathione peroxidase (tGPX)/total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) antioxidant capacities in mice after regular and moderate treadmill running. Specific activities (a and b) and efficiency of the tGPX/tSOD enzymatic coupling (c) in ovaries of middle-aged CD1 female mice after two- or four-month running programme (E2 or E4, resp.); age-matched sedentary animals (S2, S4) were used as controls (, each group). Values were given as means ± std. dev. and the level of statistical significance was calculated by using factorial ANOVA and Holm-Sidak post hoc tests for multiple comparisons: ;  .
