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

Figure 2

(a) Cadmium tissue concentrations from rats pups treated with cadmium at different ages and (b) cadmium brain regions from the same animals. Rats were injected i.p. with cadmium (1 mg/kg) and 24 h later they were sacrificed to determined cadmium levels. Values represent mean ± SEM from six animals per group expressed as Cd μg/g of wet tissue.
