Figure 1
The effects of acrolein (AC) and/or whey protein (WP) on MnSOD (U/mg protein), GPx (nmol of NADPH oxidised/min/mg protein) and GSH (nmol/mg protein) levels. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n=6). (a) significant vs control and (b) significant vs AC (p<0.05). GPx – glutathione peroxidase; GSH – glutathione; MnSOD – mitochondrial super oxide dismutase
Figure 2
The effects of acrolein (AC) and/or whey protein (WP) on LP (nmol equivalents of malonedialdehyde/mg protein) and PC (nmol DNPH incorporated/mg protein) levels. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Data analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test for comparison of means. (a) significant against 0.9 % NaCl control and (b) significant against AC at p<0.05. LP – lipid peroxidation; PC – protein carbonyl
Figure 3
The effects of acrolein (AC) and/or whey protein (WP) on complex I (mmol DCPIP reduced/min/mg protein), complex II (mmol DCPIP reduced/min/mg protein), complex IV (mmol cytochrome c oxidised/min/mg protein) levels. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Data analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test for comparison of means. (a) significant against 0.9 % NaCl control and (b) significant against AC at p<0.05. Complex I – NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase; Complex II – succinate dehydrogenase-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase; Complex IV – cytochrome c oxidase
Figure 4
The effects of acrolein (AC) and/or whey protein (WP) on ICDH (mmol NADP+ reduced/min/mg protein), α-KGDH (mmol NAD+ reduced/min/mg protein), MDH (mmol NAD+ reduced/min/mg protein) levels. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Data analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test for comparison of means. (a) significant against 0.9 % NaCl control and (b) significant against AC at p<0.05. α-KGDH – α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase; ICDH – isocitrate dehydrogenase; MDH – malate dehydrogenase
Figure 5
The effects of acrolein (AC) and/or whey protein (WP) on ATP (nmol/mg protein) level. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Data analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test for comparison of means. (a) significant against 0.9 % NaCl control and (b) significant against AC at p<0.05. ATP – adenosine triphosphate
