Protective Effect of Vitamin C against Infancy Rat Corneal Injury Caused by Acute UVB Irradiation

Figure 7

Vitamin C increased the expression of SOD (SOD2) after UVB irradiation for 7 days. (a) The serum concentration of SOD detected by ELISA at 7 d post-UVB irradiation; (b) the typical western blot picture of SOD1 and SOD2 at 7 d post-UVB irradiation; (c) the expression of SOD2 detected by western blot at 7 d post-UVB irradiation; (d) the expression of SOD1 detected by western blot at 7 d post-UVB irradiation. All analyses were performed in duplicates. The data were expressed as (SD), or 4 rats per group. , UVB group and UVB+VitC group vs. CON group; , UVB group and UVB+VitC group vs. CON group; , UVB group and UVB+VitC group vs. CON group; ^#, UVB+VitC group vs. UVB group; ^##, UVB+VitC group vs. UVB group.
