Immunohistochemical Study of Nrf2-Antioxidant Response Element as Indicator of Oxidative Stress Induced by Cadmium in Developing Rats

Figure 1

(a) Time-course of cadmium tissue content in newborn rats and (b) time-course of cadmium content in brain regions from newborn rats. Cadmium (1 mg/kg) was administered i.p. to newborn animals and cadmium was measured in the tissues at different times after injection. Values represent mean ± SEM from six animals per group expressed as Cd μg/g of wet tissue.
